22 23 24 A 22 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. Carpet height adjustment 23 The cleaning of carpet and rugs takes place at the nozzle (A). 24 If it is necessary to raise and lower the nozzle for various car- pet pile heights, slide the nozzle con- trol knob to the desired setting. For ease in sliding knob, the handle should be in the upright position. The nozzle will not move into the adjusted position until the cleaner handle is lowered to the operating position. 25 (A) (B) (1) (2) (3) (4) 25 For maximum cleaning performance, the following carpet height settings are recommended. Cleaners with Two Settings: • Setting 1 (A): for bare floors and all carpet types. • Setting 2 (B): if easier pushing effort is desired while maintaining good cleaning performance. Cleaners with Four Settings: • Lowest setting (1): for bare floors and low pile, level loop, kitchen type carpet. • Next setting (2): for other types of carpet. • Higher settings (3-4): for very deep pile carpet where easier pushing effort is desired, while maintaining good cleaning performance. Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push, slide knob to the next higher setting. Note: Check and change the filter bag frequently when using cleaner on new carpet due to rapid accumulation of carpet fluff. CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder and cornstarch, may seal the filter bag and may cause it to burst even though it is only partially full of dirt. When cleaner is used to remove material of this nature, change filter bag often. 26 26 Cleaning lightweight flexible rugs Stand on one end of rug and move cleaner toward other end or edge. Before reaching edge, push down on handle. This will lift up the nozzle (front of cleaner) and will prevent rug from clinging to 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. Where to buy Filter bags may be purchased from your local Authorized Hoover Dealer (Depot), leading retailers, or from a Hoover Factory Service Center. Maintenance Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet before attempting to service it in any manner. Do not operate without filter bag in place.
