Cleaning lightweight
flexible rugs
Stand on one end of rug and move
cleaner toward other end or edge.
Before reaching edge, push down
on handle. This will lift up the nozzle
(front of cleaner) as shown and will
prevent rug from clinging to cleaner.
Continue to lift up nozzle so that
when you have reached the edge, it
is completely off the rug. Move
cleaner back to start again, lower
nozzle, and use only forward
strokes.

Stair cleaning
A stair cleaning handle has been de-
signed for ease in using your cleaner on
stairs. With handle in operating position,
place fingers under edge of stair clean-
ing handle and guide cleaner with other
hand on upper handle.
As an alternative, you may use the hose
and furniture nozzle for stair cleaning.
Clean from bottom to top.
When using cleaning tools, the agita-
tor will continue to rotate.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or
unnecessary wear to carpet, and to
prevent the cleaner from falling,
always place it at bottom of stairs.
Edge cleaning
Special edge groomers are provided
on both sides of the nozzle to
remove dirt in carpet near base-
boards and furniture.
Guide either side of nozzle parallel
to edge of carpet or furniture.
