three-way switch (Fig. 2). The middle position is the
"Off" setting, the rear position is the "On" setting and
the forward position is for "Maximum Power" (Fig. 3).
• Use the "Maximum Power" setting for carpet cleaning.
Use the "On" setting for cleaning bare floors and throw
rugs. Always turn the vacuum cleaner to the "Off"
setting before unplugging it from the electrical outlet.

Edge Cleaning

The edge cleaning feature provides improved cleaning
near walls and stationary furniture. For maximum edge
cleaning, place the left side of the nozzle, from the user's
perspective, against the wall or stationary furniture.

Automatic Carpet Height Adjustment

Your vacuum is designed with an automatic self-
adjusting nozzle. No manual adjustments are required.
The height of the nozzle automatically adjusts to the
flooring surface. This self-adjusting feature allows the
nozzle to float evenly over all flooring surfaces.

Bare Floor Cleaning

Your vacuum is equipped with a squeegee on the bottom
of the vacuum to improve its effectiveness in cleaning
bare floors (Fig. 4). When cleaning tile, hardwood, vinyl,
etc., use the "On" setting for best results.
