IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:

GENERAL WARNINGS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Your vacuum cleaner may consist of a motorized nozzle, wand, hose, and/or vacuum pod. This device contains electrical connections, electrical wiring, and moving parts that potentially present risk to the user.
Use only identical replacement parts.
Carefully observe and follow the instructions provided below to avoid improper use of the appliance. DO NOT use the vacuum
for any purpose other than those described in this manual.
Before use, carefully inspect all parts for any damage. DO NOT use if any parts are damaged.
The use of an extension cordis NOT recommended.

Always turn off the vacuum cleaner before connecting or disconnecting any motorized nozzles or other accessories.
DO NOT handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

DO NOT damage the power cord:

Keep nozzle and all vacuum openings away from hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet, or loose clothing.
DO NOT use if vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
DO NOT leave the vacuum cleaner unattended while plugged in.
When powered on, keep the vacuum cleaner moving over the carpet surface at all times to avoid damaging the carpet fibers.
DO NOT place vacuum cleaner on unstable surfaces such as chairs or tables.
