AUTOMATIC HEIGHT CONTROL
The HITACHI vacuum cleaner has an automatic height control,which adjusts the
nozzle to the proper height of any carpet pile.
DUST BAG FULL INDICATOR
When the orange sign appears in the window
continuously, change the dust bag.
Never allow the bag to become so full that the dirt may
choke the passages to the bag.
Change the bag frequently when using the cleaner on
new carpets, due to rapid accumulation of carpet fluff.
In case the orange sign is still visible after changing
the bag, turn the cleaner off, unplug the cord and
check whether the duct hose is clogged. If so remove
blockages.
NOTE: If the cleaner is used when the orange sign
appears in the window, it will not draw enough
air and the motor may overheat and may
eventually burn out.
CARRYING HANDLE
To move your cleaner from room to room, carry it by
the carrying handle on the back of the cleaner or roll
it on the rear wheels.
EDGE CLEANING
Brushed edge cleaning is provided on the both sides of
the cleaner to remove imbedded dirt in carpet close to
the skirting board or wall.
Guide each side of the cleaner parallel to the wall or
furniture.
FRONT EDGE CLEANING
The front edge cleaning is a special head function that
provides good performance at the corner and wall
edges of a room.
