Turning the vacuum On and
Off
There are two slide switches located on
the handle to turn the vacuum on or off
easily whether the vacuum is used up-
right or horizontally. Either of these slide
switches can be used to operate the
vacuum.
Double slide switch
0 = vacuum is off
min = minimum suction
max = maximum suction
^ To turn the vacuum On, slide either
switch to min or max .
^ To turn the vacuum Off, slide either
switch to 0 .
Select min , for vacuuming light weight
items such as rugs or curtains.
Adjusting the suction
(depending on model)
Some models have an adjustable suc-
tion control that allows you to optimize
the vacuum’s performance to meet dif-
ferent cleaning needs. The suction can
be adjusted to the amount of dirt and
the type of material that will be vacu-
umed.
Light weight items such as throw rugs
or curtains can be vacuumed at a lower
suction level to prevent them from be-
ing damaged, while carpets or heavy
mats can be vacuumed at the highest
setting in order to remove deep seated
dirt. The highest setting should also be
used if a Turbobrush is connected to
the vacuum.
