4. How Use Your Upright Vacuum Cleaner
CARPET CARE CONTROL SELECTOR
The carpet care control
selector raises and lowers
the height of the nozzle.
Ensure that the cleaner is in the upright (parked) position and move the
selector to the required setting for the carpet type or floor covering.
To obtain the best performance and energy efficiency* it is recom-
mended that the adjustment setting position 1 is used for the main
cleaning operations. The other adjustment settings are for ease of use,
use on longer pile carpets, or for specialist cleaning tasks.
Settings
1. Best performance and energy efficiency, short to medium pile carpets,
hard wooden floors, wooden floor boards with crevices, ceramic tiles.
2. Medium pile carpets, delicate floor coverings such as vinyl or linoleum,
parquet flooring.
3 or 4. For longer pile carpets the motion resistance may increase. Use
these intermediate settings to reduce the force required to push the
vacuum cleaner.
5. Luxury carpet and Tool mode
IMPORTANT:
• Using this cleaner for loop pile carpets with pile greater than 30mm is
not recommended. Please consult the floor care/carpet manufacturer’s
recommended cleaning instruction before vacuuming.
• When cleaning delicate hard floors such as vinyl or linoleum the
selector switch must be moved to position 2. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the floor surface.

IMPORTANT:
When using cleaning tools, the cleaner must be kept in the upright
position, particularly when cleaning stairs. The nozzle height should also
be set to tool mode.
CLEANING THE STAIRS
Both short and extra long hoses are
supplied with the cleaner. When the user
needs to use the longer stretch hose, the
short hose should be removed from the
hose socket and replaced by the longer
stretch hose.
It is dangerous to place the cleaner above
you when cleaning stairs.
ALWAYS work with the cleaner below
you. Ensure it is positioned up against
