Cleaning lightweight
flexible rugs
Stand on one end of rug and move
26
cleaner toward other end or edge.
Before reaching edge, push down on
handle. This will lift up the nozzle (front of
cleaner) as shown and will prevent rug
from clinging to cleaner. Continue to lift
up nozzle so that when you have reached
the edge, it is completely off the rug.
Move cleaner back to start again, lower
nozzle, and use only forward strokes.

For maximum cleaning perfor-
25
mance, the following carpet height
settings are recommended:
• Lowest setting (5): for all types of
carpet
• Higher settings (1-4): for very deep pile
carpet where easier pushing effort is
desired, while maintaining good cleaning
performance.
Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,
slide knob to the next higher setting.

Stair cleaning
A stair cleaning handle has been
28
designed for ease in using your
cleaner on stairs. With handle in operat-
ing position, place fingers under edge of
stair cleaning handle and guide cleaner
with other hand on upper handle.
As an alternative, you may use the hose
and furniture nozzle for stair cleaning.
Clean from bottom to top.
When using cleaning tools, the agitator
will continue to rotate.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or
unnecessary wear to carpet, and to
prevent the cleaner from falling, always
place it at bottom of stairs.
