HOW TO USE POWER NOZZLE
OPERATION
1. Turning on the Power Nozzle
The power nozzle can only be turned on if the
canister is also turned on (canister on / off
switch is located on the main body). The
power nozzle on / off switch is located on the
handle. Simply press the switch forward to
engage the power nozzle.
To achieve best cleaning results, slowly pass
the power nozzle back and forth over the
carpet or floor.
2. Using the Power Nozzle
After turning on the canister and power nozzle,
release the wand by pressing the left pedal on the
back side of the power nozzle (see diagram 3)
3. Remove / Insert the Wand From The Power
Nozzle
Removing the wand from the power nozzle
allows you, for example, to use cleaning tools
for baseboard or ceiling cleaning. To do this,
first turn the power nozzle and canister off.
Then, press the wand release collar (see
diagram 5) and pull the wand out. To reinsert
the wand into the power nozzle, simply press
the wand back into the neck of the power
nozzle. The wand will then "click" back into
place.
4. Carpet Height Adjustment
Your power nozzle has six different settings to
clean a variety of carpet types and floor
surfaces. To adjust the carpet height setting of
the power nozzle, press the right pedal located
on the back of the power nozzle (see diagram
6). Each press of this pedal will adjust the
height to the next carpet height position.
To determine which setting you are currently
on, locate and look through the height indicator
window on the top of the unit (see diagram 7).
You will see one of the six settings as
mentioned earlier and detailed below:
Setting: Intended Use:
1. XHI Very plush carpet
2. HI Plush carpet
3. Auto General carpet thickness or bare
floors
4. MED Medium pile carpet
5. LO Low pile carpet
6. XLO Indoor/Outdoor carpet
Carpet Height Notes: When using the power
nozzle, start on the "auto" setting. If pushing the
power nozzle forward feels sluggish or hard to
push, then adjust to a higher setting (i.e. HI or
XHI). If the power nozzle feels very easy to push,
you may want to lower the power nozzle for more
effective cleaning. The "Auto" setting is the
recommended setting for hard floor surfaces (i.e.
tile, vinyl, wood).
