How To Use
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 fl oors, as damage to the
fl oor covering may result. Above the fl oor cleaning tools are
available (optional).
Cleaner Height Setting
WARNING: Avoid injury. Keep loose clothing, hair, fi ngers,
and all other parts of body away from any
moving part (such as the revolving brush).
Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner
before changing the cleaner height setting.
The front of the cleaner has an adjustment that raises or
lowers the cleaner base to match the type of carpet. With
the cleaner cord unplugged, set the adjustment to lowest
setting for maximum cleaning. If the cleaner is diffi cult to
push, move adjustment to next highest setting until cleaner
is comfortable to push. The brush roll must reach the carpet
for effective cleaning.
Make each adjustment with cleaner switch off and
cord disconnected from outlet. For ease in moving the
adjustment knob, place handle in operating position and tilt
cleaner back to remove weight from front wheels.
Handle Adjustment
With the tip of the foot, press down to release the handle lock
located at the left rear side of the cleaner. Move the handle
and adjust it to the desired position for (1) storing upright, (2)
operating the cleaner at a comfortable height for the user,
and (3) cleaning underneath low furniture.

Power Switch
The power switch is mounted on the motor hood. A push
with the foot turns the motor ON; push again to turn the
motor OFF.
Cord Storage
The cleaner has two convenient cord storage hooks attached
to the handle. However, some models feature a quick release
cord hook on the upper handle. A downward twist of the cord
hook frees the cord for quick removal. With either style, wind
the cord around the hooks for storage. Fasten the plug to the
cord to prevent unwinding.
HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to
routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,
check the bag, belt and brush roll often.
Disposable Dust Bags
Paper bags play a very important role in the effi ciency of a
vacuum cleaner. The purpose of a paper bag is to trap dirt.
But at the same time the bag must be porous enough to allow
air to pass through. If the paper bag becomes clogged, no
air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take
place, regardless of how powerful the unit is. Change the dust
bag frequently. Some fi ne particles can restrict airfl ow very
quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag
appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet
fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fi ne
substances, the bag may need to be changed more often.
