NOTICE:
While vacuuming, certain types of
carpets and low humidity conditions
may generate small static discharges.
The discharges are entirely harmless
and are not associated in any way
with the main power supply
Clean filter indicator
The clean filter indicator tells you
when the air flow in your vacuum is
reduced due to dirty filters or a clog
in the hose. The clean filter indicator
will remain green until the airflow
is reduced. At that time, it begins to
change to red. When the indicator is
fully red, the airflow is significantly
reduced or clogged by a dirty filter.
Follow the steps on page 11 to clean
your filters or there is a clog in the
hose. All filters in the vacuum should
be cleaned or replaced when the clean
filter indicator turns red. To check and
remove the clog, follow the steps on
page 12 to check for and clear clogs.
NOTE: When your vacuum is turned
off, the clean filter indicator will go
to the red color setting. The clean
filter indicator only detects reductions
in airflow when the vacuum power
is on.
On-board Tools
Your vacuum is not only a powerful
carpet and rug cleaner; it is also a ver-
satile above floor vacuum cleaner when
you select one of the special tools.
1. Raise the handle to the upright position.
2. Remove the hose wand handle from the
wand base. This automatically diverts
the suction to the hose.
3. Use the hose alone or attach any tool
by firmly pushing onto the vacuum hose,
hose wand, or extension wand. They
are a friction fit, so be sure the hose
and tool fit snuggly together
Dusting brush / upholstery tool:
Two types of cleaning tools are includ-
ed in one attachment. Slide the tool
out to use with our without bristles
and switch between the two uses.
a. Use the dusting brush to dust furniture,
blinds, books, lamps, shelves and
baseboards.
b. Slide the brush off to use the upholstery
tool on cushions, draperies and fabrics.
Tip:
It is recommended to turn off
the brush roll when the hose is
removed and you are using the
on-board tools

CAUTION:
Always place the vacuum cleaner on
the floor in its fully upright position

when using tools. It is recommended
