HOW TO USE
1. Cord Retainer. To use, push electrical cord down into cord retainer.
2. Motor Filter Indicator (red light) (on some models). Indicates when
motor filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.
3. HEPA Filter Indicator (red light) (on some models) Indicates when
the HEPA filter needs to be replaced.
4. Dirt Alert Indicator (on some models). The dirt alert sensor uses infra-
red technology to indicate whether or not floors are clean. When debris
breaks the light beam, the yellow light comes on indicating additional
cleaning is needed in this area. If there is no break in the light beam, the
floor is clean and no light will come on.
When using your new vacuum you may be cleaning deep down dirt
missed by your old vacuum causing the light to stay yellow longer. With
frequentcleaning, after thefirst fewtimesyou use yourEureka vacuum,
the yellow light should go on less.
To check if the dirt alert sensor is working properly:

performance.
8. Dust Cup. The dust cup collects the dust and debris. Empty before
debris reaches the maximum fill line on dust cup.
Certain types of fine particles like powder, plaster dust, or fine road dust
can restrict airflow very quickly. The fine particles will decrease
performance even before the dust cup appears to be full. Empty the
dust cup and clean the motor filter to restore maximum performance.

left release position to release dust cup and motor filter. Slide the dust

13. Cleaner Height Setting. The front of the cleaner has an adjustment that raises or lowers the cleaner base to match the
type of floor surface. With the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment to lowest setting for maximum carpet cleaning.
If the cleaner is difficult to push, move adjustment to next highest setting until cleaner is comfortable to push. The
brush roll bristles must reach the carpet for effective cleaning.The optimal hard floor cleaning adjustment is located next to
lowest carpet setting. For ease in moving the adjustment knob, place handle in operating position and tilt cleaner back to
remove weight from front wheels.
NOTE: The suction against some types of flooring may require higher cleaner height setting. The Hard Floor
setting is recommended, but the actual setting used for your hard floor may need to be adjusted for best
performance and ease of movement.
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.
