Carrying cleaner Handle positions Embedded DirtFINDER™ feature (some models) 15 The cleaner can be carried by placing hand under the carrying handle and lifting. 16 The handle of your cleaner has three positions: upright for storage and for when using cleaning tools; oper- ating position for general operation on carpets and floors; low for reaching under low furniture. Step on handle release pedal (E), then pull handle back to lower handle. 17 With red and green lights, the DirtFINDER™ system alerts the user to areas of carpet that may need more cleaning attention. It is able to sense when embedded dirt is removed. The clean light (green) will remain on throughout cleaning except when the detector senses that a larger amount of dirt is being picked up; then the dirty light (red) will come on. When the dirty light is on, you should take additional cleaning strokes in the area until it changes to clean. Cleaning lightweight flexible rugs 18 Stand on one end of rug and move cleaner toward other end. Before reaching edge, push down on handle. This will lift up the nozzle and will prevent the rug from clinging to the cleaner. Continue to lift up nozzle so that when you have reached the edge, it is completely off the rug. Move cleaner back to start again, lower nozzle, and use only forward strokes. Edge cleaning 19 Special edge groomers are provid- ed on both sides of the front of the cleaner to remove dirt in carpet near baseboards and furniture. Guide either side parallel to the edge of carpet or furniture. 08
