WARNING
Electrical Shock Or Personal Injury
Hazard
Disconnect electrical supply before
servicing or cleaning the unit. Failure
to do so could result in electrical
shock or personal injury from cleaner
or agitator suddenly starting.
The valve assembly will be closed when
the cleaner is in the upright position.
When you release the handle for normal
operation the valve opens to allow air to
pass for normal deep cleaning. This valve
will sometimes become dirty and may
need routine cleaning.
To clean the valve you must first remove
the deep cleaning nozzle hose to gain
access to the valve. Once the hose is
removed, wipe the surface of the valve.
Release the handle (see Handle Release
section, page 8) and lay cleaner back.
With the cleaner in the back position the
the valve is open. Wipe the inside with a
soft cloth to remove any dirt or residue.
Return cleaner to the upright position. Re-
attach nozzle hose and extension hose.
To clean agitator turn vacuum over and cut
off any carpet pile and lint entangled
around agitator with a pair of scissors in
the slots provided. Remove hair, string,
lint and other debris from the agitator.
