How To Use
CAUTION: Do not plug in cleaner until you
understand all controls and
features.
1. Cord Retainer. To use, push electrical cord down into cord
retainer.
2. ON/OFF Switch. International symbol I means On, International
symbol O means Off.
3. Dust Cup Latch. When dust cup latch is pointing to the left,
the dust cup compartment is unlocked. When dust cup latch
is pointing to the right the dust cup is locked in place. See the
locked/unlocked symbols on the unit.
4. HEPA/Micron Filter Compartment. For removal of HEPA/
Micron Filter, depress latch at top of exhaust grill. When refitting
grill press firmly to engage latch correctly.
5. Dust Cup Handle. Use the handle to remove and replace the
dust cup in the dust cup compartment.
6. Dust Cup Compartment. To open, turn dust cup latch (3) to
the left pointing to unlock symbol, then grasp dust cup handle
(5) and pull dust cup out and away from unit. To close, place
the front of the bottom of the dust cup in groove at the bottom

unit. Then turn dust cup latch to the right pointing to the lock

7. Handle Release. Step on handle release. Pull handle back to
a comfortable position. Press release again to lower handle
further to clean under furniture.
8 . Brush Roll Belt Window. To check condition of belt watch to
see if white dots on belt are moving through the window. This
indicates the brush roll is turning.
9. Screws to Release Hood. Remove these screws to release
hood and give access to brush roll belt area.
10. Floor Type Selector. The base of the cleaner has an
adjustment that raises or lowers the cleaning head to match
the type of floor surface. With the cleaner cord unplugged,
the height adjustment knob should be rotated to the desired
position. For ease in moving the adjustment knob, place the
handle in the upright parked position and tilt the cleaner back
to remove weight from the front wheels. If you have long pile
carpet, set the knob to the highest setting marked ‘Long Pile’.
For short pile carpets set the knob to the lowest setting which
is marked ‘Short Pile’. If the cleaner is difficult to push, rotate
the adjustment knob to the next highest setting until the cleaner
is comfortable to push. The brush roll must reach the carpet
for effective cleaning.
For use on hard floors, care must be taken to avoid
damage to the flooring caused by repeated contact from
the brush roll. Therefore, do not set on the ‘Short Pile’
setting, but in the mid point setting between ‘Short Pile’
and ‘Long Pile’.
For above the floor cleaning using the tools supplied, turn
to the ‘Tools’ setting. The cleaner should be in the upright
parked position to avoid repeated contact of the brush roll
with the floor surface.
WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair,
fingers, 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.
11. Extension Wands. Use these wands on the end of the hose
for added cleaning reach.
