SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT
SETTINGS
Attention: Refer to your carpet
manufacturers cleaning recommendations.
Some more delicate carpets may
require that they be vacuumed with the
®
PowerMate
brushroll turned off to prevent
carpet damage.
For best deep down cleaning, use the
XLO setting. However, you may need to
raise the height to make some jobs easier,
such as scatter rugs and some deep
pile carpets, and to prevent the vacuum
cleaner from shutting off. Suggested
settings are:
HI – Shag, deep pile, super-soft, or
ultraplush carpets, and scatter rugs.
MED – Medium to deep pile.
LO – Low to medium pile.
XLO – The preferred setting for many
carpets and also for bare floors.
NOTE: To protect bare floors, place the
3- way On/Off switch in the HARDFLOOR
position to turn off brushroll rotation.
