A stair cleaning handle has been
designed for ease in using your cleaner
on stairs. With handle in operating posi-
tion, place fingers under edge of stair

and furniture nozzle for stair cleaning.

tor will continue to rotate.

Settings
For maximum cleaning performance,
the following carpet height settings are
recommended.
• Low setting: for all types of carpet and
hard floors.
Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,
rotate knob to the next higher setting.
• Medium and High settings: for deeper
pile carpet where easier pushing effort is
desired, while maintaining good cleaning
performance.

Cleaning tools

Tools allow for cleaning surfaces above
the floor and for reaching hard to clean
areas.
• The cleaner is ready for tool use when
handle is in upright position.
• For best tool performance, set the ON-
OFF-HUSH™ switch to ON and set the
Power Boost Switch to lock.
CAUTION: Agitator continues to
rotate while cleaner handle is in
upright position. Avoid tipping clean-
er or setting it on furniture, fringed
area rugs or carpeted stairs during
tool use.

Cleaning lightweight
flexible rugs
Stand on one end of rug and move
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 for-
ward strokes.
