Loop cord over cord storage hook (C).
Slide wands into wand storage clip

Automatic wet
shut-off
When the tank is full of liquid, the
automatic shut-off mechanism will
shut off cleaner pick-up. When this
happens, the cleaner will no longer
pick up and the motor sound will
become noticeably higher in pitch.
Turn cleaner off and empty tank to
continue use.
The automatic shut-off will also
engage if the cleaner has been
tipped over. To continue use, turn
cleaner off and set it upright. Wait
a few seconds to allow motor to
come to a complete stop.
