SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT
SETTINGS
Attention: Refer to your carpet
manufacturers cleaning recommendations.
Some more delicate carpets may require
that they be vacuumed with the PowerMate

agitator turned off to prevent carpet
damage.
For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO
setting. However, you may need to raise the
height to make some jobs easier, such as
scatter rugs and some deep pile carpets,
and to prevent the vacuum cleaner from
shutting off. Suggested settings are:
HI – Shag, deep pile, super-soft, or
ultraplush carpets, and scatter rugs.
MED – Medium to deep pile.
LO – Low to medium pile.
XLO – The preferred setting for many
carpets and also for bare floors.
NOTE: To protect bare floors, place the 3-
way On/Off switch in the HARDFLOOR
position to turn off agitator rotation.
