2 - 7 2 - 8 E 2 - 9 F Hard surface floor cleaning The power nozzle can be used for cleaning hard surface floors such as wood, linoleum, vinyl, asphalt and rubber tile, sealed cork, concrete and terrazzo, as well as carpet. To set the power nozzle for hard surface floor cleaning, push the floor surface selector button toward "BARE" (E). This setting provides suction and no agitator action. If you prefer, you may use the wall/floor brush to clean bare floors. You will find it particularly convenient when cleaning lightweight area rugs to set the floor surface selector button on "BARE" and continue cleaning the surrounding floor surfaces. Note: The headlight will be ON in both the "RUG" and "BARE" floor surface modes. Edge cleaning Special edge groomers are provided on both sides of the nozzle to remove dirt in carpet near baseboards and furniture. Guide side of nozzle parallel to edge of carpet or furniture as shown. Variable speed control (some models) The variable speed control (F) is located on the hand grip. Slide the control back to reduce energy consumption and to clean lightly soiled areas or delicate fabrics. Slide control forward for maximum cleaning power in heavily soiled areas. If the power nozzle is difficult to push, slide the control toward back to reduce the pow e r. This will help p r event damage to the belt. 2 - 1 0 G Suction regulator (some models) The suction regulator on the wand allows the user to reduce suction when necessary. Open the suction regulator for less suction when cleaning lightweight fabrics or throw rugs. Close (G) the suction regulator for maximum suction. If the power nozzle is difficult to push on some carpet, open the suction regulator. This will help prevent damage to the belt. 6 Cleaning tools The cleaning tools are conveniently stored in the cleaner underneath the tool lid. Pull up on edge of lid in recessed area to open.
