Move cleaner back to start again, lower nozzle, and use only forward strokes. 2-12 Edge cleaning Edge cleaning is provided on both sides of nozzle to remove dirt in carpet near baseboards and furniture. Guide either side of nozzle parallel to edge of carpet or furniture. 2-13 Stair cleaning A stair cleaning handle has been designed for ease in using your cleaner on stairs.
