SPECIAL FEATURES
Carrying handle
Your cleaner has a convenient carry-
ing handle located underneath the han-
dle bail.
Edge cleaning
This feature improves the cleaning of
carpet edges near baseboards and solid
furniture. Dust and lint tend to collect
along these edges. The cleaner bottom
plate has been designed with a passage-
way for dirt to enter the nozzle from
the side to increase cleaning ability of
edges. From the right or left side,
slowly guide the cleaner parallel to
the edge of the carpet.
Cleaning lightweight
flexible rugs
Lightweight flexible rugs used on hard
surface floors in entrances, bathrooms,
etc. should be cleaned by the following
method.
Stand on one end of the rug and move
the cleaner toward the other end or
edge. Before reaching the other end,
push down on the handle. This will lift
up the nozzle (front of cleaner) and
will prevent the rug from clinging to
the cleaner. Continue to lift up the
nozzle so that when you have reached
the edge, it is completely off the rug.
Move the cleaner back to start again
and lower the nozzle, using only for-
ward strokes.
