Cleaning lightweight
flexible rugs
Stand on one end of rug and move
cleaner toward other end or edge.
Before reaching edge, push down on
handle. This will lift up the nozzle (front
of cleaner) and will prevent rug from
clinging to cleaner.
Continue to lift front of cleaner so that
when you have reached the edge, it is
completely off the rug. Move cleaner
back to start again, lower front of
cleaner, and use only forward strokes.
• The red light may seldom come on
during cleaning. This means that your
cleaner is picking up primarily fine surf a c e
dust and lint which the system may not
detect, or that the carpet is generally
clean. To increase the feature 's
sensitivity to dirt , set the switch (B) to
t h e " H i " p o s i t i o n .
• At other times, the red light may stay on
for a considerable amount of time. This
means that the carpet contains a high
level of dirt which is being removed by
the cleaner. To decrease the feature 's
sensitivity to dirt set the switch to
" R e g ." ( regular) position.
R e t u rn the control to the correct setting
when cleaning floors. Do not leave the
