WARNING Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from babies and children.

WARNING Do not plug in your vacuum cleaner until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.

WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn power switch off and disconnect polarized plug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

Assembly

The only tool you’ll need to assemble your vacuum cleaner is a Phillips-head screwdriver.

WARNING Do not operate vacuum with damp or wet filters or without all filters in place first.

Attach handle to vacuum

1. Locate the vacuum handle and remove the screw packet taped to the handle. The screw packet contains two screws of equal length.
2. Stand the vacuum upright and slide the base of the handle firmly into the opening at the top of the vacuum body.
3. Check to be sure the handle is fitted to the vacuum body. If there are any gaps between the handle and the vacuum base, continue to push the handle firmly into the base until the handle is flush.
4. Insert the two screws from the screw packet into the existing holes. Push each screw firmly into the hole before beginning to secure the screw with a Phillips head screwdriver. If the handle is aligned properly on the vacuum base, you should be able to push the screw almost entirely into the hole until only the screw head is visible. Tighten the screw with a Phillips head screwdriver by rotating the screw clockwise.

Attach vacuum hose, clips & tools

1. Attach the extension wand clip by inserting the clip into the back of the vacuum base and twisting clockwise. Mount the extension wand (with crevice tool inside) on the back of the vacuum.
2. Snap the upper cord wrap into the socket located above the extension wand clip. Wrap the power cord around the cord wrap clips.
3. Attach the Twist ‘n Snap™ hose by lining up the tabs on the cuff with the corresponding notches on the back of the vacuum. Twist the Twist ‘n Snap hose clockwise to lock the hose into place.
4. Slide the end of the hose wand into the hose wand base, and fold the hose over the upper hose wrap.

NOTE: The powerfoot will not suction properly unless the hose wand is firmly attached.

5.Slide the dusting brush into the opening below the upper hose wrap.

6.The TurboBrush Tool secures to the back of the handle in the mount above the Upper Hose Wrap.

Operations

CAUTION Before using your vacuum, make sure that the dirt tank is in the locked position and that both filters (pre-motor and post-motor) are in place. Do not operate your vacuum without these filters.

Power switch

The Power switch on model 9595, 3918, 24101, 7482 series is located on the left side of the vacuum. Push the rocker switch “ON” (I) to vacuum, and “OFF” (O) when cleaning is complete. The Power switch on model 2412 is located on the front of the handle. Push the button once to vacuum, and push the button again when cleaning is complete.

NOTE: You can find your model number on the back, bottom side of the vacuum on the white sticker by the UL rating.

Handle position

Press the handle release pedal with your foot to place your CleanView vacuum into one of three cleaning positions.

1. Upright – For storage and above floor cleaning with tools.

2. Normal cleaning – Press handle release for household floor cleaning tasks.

3. Low cleaning – With the vacuum in normal cleaning position, press handle release pedal again, use for reaching under low furniture such as tables, chairs or beds.

Height adjustment

There are five height settings available for various floor surfaces. Turn the dial on the foot of the cleaner to the desired setting.

Lowest setting – For low pile carpet or bare floors. To pick up debris, it may be necessary to move up one setting.

Medium setting – For medium pile carpet.

Highest setting – For high pile and most shag carpet.

NOTE: For optimal carpet cleaning performance, adjust to the lowest practical setting. If your cleaner is difficult to push, adjust to the next higher setting.

If the dial is difficult to turn, tilt the cleaner back slightly to take the weight off the foot while turning.

Tips

» Hair, string and small objects can block the vacuum hose or tools. Check them occasionally for obstructions.

» Before cleaning under low furniture, check area first for objects that might harm the unit or block the vacuum hose.

» Your vacuum features a Quick Release™ cord wrap. To remove the power cord quickly and easily, rotate the upper cord wrap toward the floor and slip the power cord off the upper and lower cord wraps.

NOTICE The floor brush will continue to rotate while you use your vacuum for above floor cleaning. To prevent carpet damage, do not lean on the vacuum or let the powerfoot tilt forward.

Brush Roll On/Off (On model series: 7482 & 2412)

The rotating brush On/Off pedal is located on the front of the vacuum base. You can use your foot to engage or disengage this pedal (a). When the brush roll pedal has been engaged, the brush will start rotating. The brush roll should be turned on for most carpeted floors. To turn the brush roll off, disengage the pedal by pressing on it with your foot. We recommend turning off the brush roll for bare floor cleaning to prevent scatter or for other delicate surfaces.

Transporting cleaner

1. To move your cleaner from room to room, put the handle in the upright position, tilt the cleaner back on its rear wheels and push forward.

2. The cleaner can also be moved by using the carrying handle.

Suction Power Indicator (On model series: 2412)

The suction power indicator tells you when the air flow in your vacuum is reduced due to dirty filters or a clog in the hose. The suction power indicator will remain green until the airflow is reduced. At that time, it begins to change to red. When it is fully red, the airflow is significantly reduced by a dirty filter or clog. Follow the steps on page 12 for clearing a clog. Follow the steps on pages 9 and 10 to clean your filters. All filters in the vacuum should be cleaned or replaced when the clean filter indicator turns red.

NOTE: When your vacuum is turned off, the suction power indicator will go to the green color setting. The suction power indicator only detects reductions in airflow when the vacuum power is on.

Tip

» Hair, string and small objects can block the vacuum hose or tools. Check them occasionally for obstructions.

WARNING The rotating floor brush continues to rotate while tools are in use. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, always move the cleaner with the carrying handle at the back of the cleaner. Always place vacuum cleaner on floor with handle in upright position when using tools. Never place your fingers under the cleaner when it is running. Never place powerfoot on furniture or uneven surfaces. Do not place vacuum cleaner close enough to objects to pull them into rotating brush.

NOTICE While vacuuming, certain carpets and low humidity conditions may generate small static discharges. The discharges are entirely harmless and are not associated in any way with the main power supply.
