Carpet height adjustment 2.8 When it is necessary to raise and lower the front of the cleaner for various carpet pile heights, slide the carpet height control (C) to the desired setting. To easily adjust the carpet height adjustment, lightly lift the front of the nozzle while adjusting the height adjustment knob. For maximum cleaning performance, the following carpet height settings are recommended: • Low setting: for all types of carpet. • Higher settings: for very deep pile carpet where easier pushing effort is desired, while maintaining good cleaning performance. IMPORTANT If the cleaner is difficult to push, slide control to the next higher setting. 2.8 C Brushroll control IMPORTANT When handle is in upright position, brushroll is automatically OFF. 2.9 Move the brushroll control only when the handle is in the upright position. Slide control to "Carpet" to turn brushroll ON for cleaning carpet or rugs. Slide control to "Hard" to turn brushroll OFF when cleaning bare floors. 2.9 Cleaning lightweight flexible rugs 2.10 Stand on one end of rug and move cleaner toward other end or edge.
