Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner
from outlet before checking.
SUGGESTED SWEEPING PATTERN
For best cleaning action, the floor nozzle
should be pushed straight away from you
and pulled straight back. At the end of
each pull stroke, the direction of the floor
nozzle should be changed to point into the
next section to be cleaned. This pattern
should be continued across the carpet with
slow, gliding motions.
NOTE
: Fast, jerky strokes do not provide
complete cleaning.
FLOOR NOZZLE STORAGE
The wand has a “U” shaped storage hook
that slides into the “U” shaped slot on
the canister. The storage hook allows the
wands and floor nozzle to be stored with
the canister to conserve storage space.
The canister must be stored on end for this
feature to be used.
