scatter rugs
MED: medium to long pile
LOW: short to medium pile, bare
floors
EX LOW: very low pile, bare floors
Place unit in "HIGH" setting when using

recommended cleaning instructions
before vacuuming.
Note: Always remove the power plug
from the wall outlet before assembling or
removing accessories.
