NOZZLE
Adjustment for
carpet pile height
The cleaning of carpet and rugs
takes place at the nozzle.
If it is necessary to raise and
lower the nozzle for various
carpet pile heights, slide the
nozzle control knob to the
correct setting.
Disconnect cleaner from
electrical outlet before mak-
ing nozzle adjustment.
For ease in sliding knob, the
handle should be in the upright
position.
The nozzle will not move into
the adjusted position until
the cleaner handle is lowered
to the operating position.
When cleaning non-carpeted floors, set the adjustment lever to the
lowest setting. If greater control on non-carpeted floors is desired,
push the Self Propel control button to the OFF position.
Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push, slide the knob to the next
higher setting.
For maximum cleaning performance, the following carpet height
settings are recommended.
• Lowest setting (4): for all types of carpet.
• Higher settings (1-3): for very deep pile carpet where easier
pushing effort is desired, while maintain-
ing good cleaning performance.

Embedded Dirt FINDER™ feature
(Some models only)
The ‘ Dirt FINDER’ system alerts the user to areas of carpet that may
need more cleaning attention by sensing a larger amount of dirt par-
ticles being removed, especially embedded dirt.
To let you know that the ‘Dirt
FINDER’ feature is ready and that
the battery is good, the red light
will come on when the cleaner is
first turned on. After a few
seconds, the red light will go off
and the green light will come on.
Cleaning may then begin. (If
neither the red nor the green light
comes on, the battery may need
to be replaced. See “Mainte-
nance” section.)
The green light will remain on throughout cleaning except when the
detector senses that a larger amount of dirt is being picked up; then
the red light will come on.
When the red light is on, you should take additional cleaning strokes
in the area until it changes to green.
• The red light may seldom come
on during cleaning. This means
that your cleaner is picking up
primarily fine surface dust and lint
which the system may not detect,
or that the carpet is generally
clean. To increase the feature’s
sensitivity to dirt, set the switch
to the “Hi” position.

• At other times, the red light may
stay on for a considerable
amount of time. This means that
the carpet contains a high level of
dirt which is being removed by
the cleaner. To decrease the
feature’s sensitivity to dirt, set
the switch to the “Reg.” (regular)
position.
(Note: On some models this
position is indicated as “Lo”.)
