VACUUMING TIPS
For best cleaning action, the motorized nozzle should be pushed straight away from you
and pulled straight back. At the end of each pull stroke, the direction of the nozzle should
be changed to point into the next section to be cleaned. This nozzle should be continued

The electronic suction control allows you to change the power of the vacuum cleaner

HIGH increases suction for upholsteries and carpets.
LOW POWER decreases suction for draperies and lightweight rugs.
NOTE: Fast, random strokes do not provide complete cleaning.

a new location for further cleaning.
WARNING
CAUTION
The stair hold located on the caster will aid in preventing the canister from slipping when
used on stairs. During normal operation while the canister is in the horizontal position, the
caster wheel rotates freely 360°.
In order to prevent the canister from slipping on stairs, the STAIR HOLD feature
automatically locks the caster wheel in position when the canister is placed on residential
stairs.
Active brush edge cleaners are on both sides of the motorized nozzle. Guide either side of
the nozzle along the wall or next to furniture to help remove dirt trapped at carpet edges.
NOTE: Be sure the canister is resting securely on the stairs and the caster is in a locked
position before using.
