SUCTION CONTROL
The suciion
control allows
you to change
the vacuum
suction for
different fabrics
and carpet
weights. Opening the controi decreases
suction for draperies and lightweight rugs,
while closing the control increases suction
for upholsteries and carpets.
THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to protect
the vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a
clog prevents the normal flow of air to the
motor, the thermal protector turns the
motor off automatically. This allows the
motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem: Turn the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug the power cord
from the outlet to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protector
to reset
Check for and remove clogs, if
necessary. Also check and replace any
clogged filters. Wait approximately
thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum
cleaner in and turn back on to see if the
motor protector has reset
POWERMATE STORAGE
The wand has a “U" shaped
flange that slides into
the “U'’ shaped slot on
the canister,
The flange allows the
wands and PowerMaie
to be stored with the
canister to conserve
storage space. The
canister must be
stored on end for this
feature to be used.
To attach the PowerMate, it must be in the
flat position as shown in the illustration. Use
the handle release pedal to place it in this
position.
The wand will slip out of the siot as it is lifted
up for use and wlli slide into the siot as it is
lowered for storage.
STAIR GRIP
During normal operation while the canister is
in the horizontai position, the caster wheel
rotates freely 360°.
The Stair Grip
feature allows
the caster
wheel to lock in
position when
the vacuum
cleaner is
rotated 25°
from horizontal into a vertical position in
order for the canister to rest on stairs.
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the
dirt to the dust bag through the airflow pas
sages, The dust bag lets the air pass
through, while it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the ain
flow passage open. Check the starred
areas occasionally for clogs. Turn off
and unplug vacuum cieaner from
outlet before checking.
