How To Use

The upright vacuum cleaner is designed to be used on

multiple types of carpeting. Do not attempt to use the

upright vacuum cleaner on bare ﬂ oors, as damage to the

ﬂ oor covering may result. Above the ﬂ oor cleaning tools are

available (optional).

Cleaner Height Setting

WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair, ﬁ ngers,

and all other parts of body away from any

moving part (such as the revolving brush).

Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner

before changing the cleaner height setting.

The front of the cleaner has an adjustment that raises or

lowers the cleaner base to match the type of carpet. With

the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment to lowest

setting for maximum cleaning. If the cleaner is difﬁ cult to

push, move adjustment to next highest setting until cleaner

is comfortable to push. The brush roll must reach the carpet

for effective cleaning.
Make each adjustment with cleaner switch off and

cord disconnected from outlet. For ease in moving the

adjustment knob, place handle in operating position and tilt

cleaner back to remove weight from front wheels.

Handle Adjustment

With the tip of the foot, press down to release the handle lock

located at the left rear side of the cleaner. Move the handle

and adjust it to the desired position for (1) storing upright, (2)

operating the cleaner at a comfortable height for the user,

and (3) cleaning underneath low furniture.

Power Switch

The power switch is mounted on the motor hood. A push

with the foot turns the motor ON; push again to turn the

motor OFF.

Cord Storage

The cleaner has two convenient cord storage hooks attached

to the handle. However, some models feature a quick release

cord hook on the upper handle. A downward twist of the cord

hook frees the cord for quick removal. With either style, wind

the cord around the hooks for storage. Fasten the plug to the

cord to prevent unwinding.

HOW TO MAINTAIN

The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to

routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,

check the bag, belt and brush roll often.

Disposable Dust Bags

Paper bags play a very important role in the efﬁ ciency of a

vacuum cleaner. The purpose of a paper bag is to trap dirt.

But at the same time the bag must be porous enough to allow

air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no

air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take

place, regardless of how powerful the unit is. Change the dust

bag frequently. Some ﬁ ne particles can restrict airﬂ ow very

quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag

appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet

fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar ﬁ ne

substances, the bag may need to be changed more often.
