Carrying cleaner
The cleaner can be moved by using
the carrying handle located on the back
of the cleaner.
(Fig. 2-7 continued)
When the red light is on, you should
take additional cleaning strokes in the
area until it changes to green.
•The red light may seldom come on
during cleaning. This means that your
cleaner is picking up primarily fine sur-
face dust and lint which the system may
not detect, or that the carpet is general-
ly clean. To increase the feature's sen-
sitivity to dirt, set the switch (B) to the
"Hi" position.
•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 the "Reg." (Regular) position.

Carpet height
adjustment
When it is necessary to raise and lower
the front of the cleaner for various car-
pet pile heights, slide the carpet height
control (C) to the desired setting.
For maximum cleaning performance,
the following carpet height settings are
recommended:
• Low setting: for all types of carpet
• Higher settings: for very deep pile
carpet where easier pushing effort is
desired, while maintaining good clean-
ing performance.
Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,
slide control to the next higher setting.

Embedded Dirt FINDER
feature
With red and green lights (A), the 'Dirt
FINDER' system alerts the user to areas
of carpet that may need more cleaning
attention. It is able to sense when larger
amounts of dirt particles, especially
embedded dirt, are removed.
To let you know that the 'Dirt FINDER'
feature is ready the red light will come on
when the cleaner is first turned on. After
a few seconds, the red light will go off
and the green light will come on.
Cleaning may then begin.
The green light will remain on through-
out cleaning except when the detector
senses that a larger amount of dirt is
being picked up; then the red light will
come on.
