lightweight
flexible rugs
Stand on one end of rug and move
cleaner toward other end or edge.
Before reaching edge, push down
on handle. This will lift up the
nozzle (front of cleaner) and will
prevent rug from clinging to
cleaner. Continue to lift up nozzle
so that when you have reached
the edge, it is completely off the
rug. Move cleaner back to start
again, lower nozzle, and use only
forward strokes.
Edge cleaning
Edge cleaning is provided on both
sides of nozzle to remove dirt in
carpet near baseboards and
furniture. Guide either side of
nozzle parallel to edge of carpet or
furniture.
Stair cleaning
A stair cleaning handle has been
designed for ease in using your
cleaner on stairs. With handle in
operating position, place fingers
under edge of stair cleaning
handle and guide cleaner with
other hand on upper handle.
As an alternative, you may use the
hose and furniture nozzle for stair
cleaning. Clean stairs from bottom
to top.
When using cleaning tools, the
agitator will continue to rotate.
CAUTION: To avoid personal
injury or unnecessary wear to
carpet, and to prevent the
cleaner from falling, use extra
care if cleaner is placed on
stairs.
