Kirby Sentria Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
Getting Started
POWER NOZZLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
When using the Power Nozzle (25), it is important to adjust
the height properly. Start by pressing the Toe-Touch Control
Bottom Pedal (9) all the way down, raising the front of your
system all the way up.
The Toe-Touch Control adjusts the Power Nozzle to seven
different heights. The highest four positions are used for attach-
ing accessories. Positions #1-3 are used for carpet and floor
cleaning. Positions #1-3 are indicated when the number shows
directly in front of the Toe-Touch Control Upper Pedal (8).
Turn the unit on and press the Toe-Touch Control upper
pedal 4 times (one notch at a time) until you see the #3 in
front of the Toe-Touch Control Upper Pedal. You are now at
the HIGHEST floor cleaning position used for high-pile and
plush carpets.
Press one more notch down for the MEDIUM position
(until you see the #2 in front of the Toe-Touch Control Upper
Pedal.) This is the most widely used position for all-type
carpets. Push one more notch down for LOW (until you see
the #1 in front of the Toe-Touch Control upper pedal). This is
the lowest position for low pile carpet and hard floor cleaning.
NOTE: When finished vacuuming, press the Toe-Touch
Control Bottom Pedal all the way down to move your
Sentria system.
