GENERAL OPERATIONThe Prestige Pro is controlled by pressing the three position ON/OFF power control switch located on the hose handle. When the switch is pushed to the left (I) it turns on the vacuum only. When the switch is pushed to the right (II) it operates both the vacuum and the brush roller. The headlight will operate when the Prestige Pro is turned on.

Carpet Height AdjustmentYour powerhead has six different settings to clean a variety of carpet types and floor surfaces. The height adjustment pedal is located on the back right of the powerhead. To determine which setting you are currently on, look through the height indicator window on the top of the unit. You will see one of the six settings detailed below:

XHI Very Plush Carpet HI Plush Carpet AUTO General Carpet Thickness or Bare Floors MED Medium Pile Carpet LO Low Pile Carpet XLO Indoor/Outdoor Carpet

Carpet Height Adjustment Tip: When using the Prestige Pro powerhead, start on the “Auto” setting. If pushing the powerhead feels difficult, then adjust to a higher setting. If the powerhead feels easy to push, you may want to lower the powerhead for more effective cleaning. The “Auto” setting is the recommended setting for hard floor surfaces (i.e. tile, vinyl, wood).
