HOW TO USE THE SELF-PROPELLED VACUUM CLEANER
The upright vacuum cleaner is designed to be used on multiple types of carpeting. Do not attempt to use the upright
vacuum cleaner on bare floors, as damage to the floor covering may result. When using the attachment tools, place the
handle in the upright position. Do not place cleaner on furniture or steps as the brush roll may cause damage.
A carpet should be cleaned regularly over heavily travelled areas, and once a week over the entire carpeted area. Make
several passes (forward and back) over the carpet, covering small areas at a time. The time required to clean the carpet will
depend on several factors — including type of carpet and amount of dirt.
Self-Propelled Selector
Push the grip slightly forward or backward to position the red
selector button to the manual notch, then push red button into
the manual lock. Use the manual position for (1) storage, (2)
rolling the machine from room to room, and (3) greater control
around delicate furniture or on throw rugs.
Push the red selector button into the narrow slot to use the
Self-Propelled feature (automatic forward and backward).
