NOTICE:
While vacuuming, certain types of
carpets and low humidity conditions
may generate small static discharges.
The discharges are entirely harmless
and are not associated in any way
with the main power supply
Clean filter indicator
the clean filter indicator tells you when the air
flow in your vacuum is reduced due to dirty
filters or a clog in the hose. the clean filter
indicator will remain green until the airflow is
reduced. at that time, it begins to change to
red. When the indicator is fully red, the airflow
is significantly reduced or clogged by a dirty fil-
ter. follow the steps on page 11 to clean your
filters or there is a clog in the hose. all filters
in the vacuum should be cleaned or replaced
when the clean filter indicator turns red. to
check and remove the clog, follow the steps on
page 12 to check for and clear clogs.
NOTE: When your vacuum is
turned off, the clean filter indicator
will go to the red color setting.
The clean filter indicator only
detects reductions in airflow
when the vacuum power is on.
On-board Tools
your vacuum is not only a powerful carpet
and rug cleaner; it is also a versatile above
floor vacuum cleaner when you select one
of the special tools.
1. Raise the handle to the upright position.
2. Remove the hose wand from the hose
wand base. this automatically diverts
the suction to the hose.
3. use the hose alone or attach any tool
by firmly pushing onto the vacuum hose,
hose wand, or extension wand. they
are a friction fit, so be sure the hose
and tool fit snuggly together
Dusting brush / upholstery tool:
two types of cleaning tools are included in
one attachment. slide the tool out to use with
or without bristles and switch between the
two uses.
a. use the dusting brush to dust furniture,
blinds, books, lamps, shelves and
baseboards.
b. slide the brush off to use the upholstery
tool on cushions, draperies and fabrics.
Tip:
it is recommended to turn off
the brush roll when the hose is
removed and you are using the
on-board tools

CAUTION:
Always place the vacuum cleaner on
