  electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Warnings

• Avoid using the appliance with wet hands.

• Do not operate the vacuum cleaner with the switch on; it
  invites accidents.

  may be present.

• Keep the vacuum cleaner’s openings unblocked and free of dust,
  lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.

  way. If the vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been
  dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, call the
  Eureka Customer Service HELPLINE at 1-800-282-2886.

• If the battery is damaged or modified, seek medical attention
  if necessary, wash quickly with soap and water, and neutralize with
  a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into
  the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of
  10 minutes.

• Do not charge the battery near heat sources or expose it to
  high temperatures. Batteries become dangerous at high
  temperatures.

• Do not short the battery terminals or allow them to come into
  contact with other metal objects.

• Keep the vacuum cleaner and battery pack away from
  children.

The Eureka 2-year limited warranty

Midea America Corp. (“Eureka”), subject to the terms and conditions herein, warrants this vacuum cleaner to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a term of two years from the date of original purchase when used in accordance with the Eureka operating and maintenance instructions and under normal household usage. This warranty is granted only to the original purchaser and members of immediate household, and is applicable only to original purchases from Eureka authorized resellers. What Eureka will do: Eureka will, at its option, repair or replace a defective vacuum or vacuum part that is covered by this warranty. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed Eureka specifications for new parts. If Eureka elects to replace the vacuum, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. Depending on availability of products, Eureka reserves the right to provide you with a replacement product that is the same or similar, or substitute equivalent of the original product. As a matter of warranty policy, Eureka will not refund the consumer’s purchase price. This warranty does not cover:
· Battery module and battery components. The battery module and its components are covered by a separate one-year limited battery warranty.
· Normal wear and tear of the vacuum and vacuum parts that require replacement under normal use such as disposable dust bags, filters, drive belts, light bulbs, brush-roll, bristles, impellers and cleaning.
· Damages or malfunctions resulting from improper or unreasonable use or maintenance, abuse, negligence, failure to follow instruction contained in any written materials that accompany the product, deterioration by reason of excess moisture, corrosive atmosphere, lightning, power surges, connections to improper voltage supply, unauthorized alteration, or other external causes such as extremes in temperature or humidity, modifications, scratches or discoloration, accidents, misuse, or acts of God. This warranty also does not cover damage resulting from repair or attempted repair by anyone other than Eureka or an authorized Eureka Warranty Station. This warranty is not applicable to any product that has been altered or on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed. Altering, erasing, or forging any proof-of-purchase documents voids any applicable product warranty.

Obtaining warranty service: To obtain warranty service you must contact the Eureka Service Team, toll free, at 1-800-282-2886 or email customerserviceusa@midea.com, to discuss the warranty claim and procedures to be followed. All warranty claims must include submission of proof-of-purchase documentation. For additional information, you may also visit www.eureka.com. Shipping charges: You will be responsible for any initial shipping and insurance charges if the defective product(s) must be shipped for warranty service or warranty evaluation; however, Eureka or a Eureka Authorized Warranty Station will pay the return shipping charges if repairs are covered by the warranty. When returning parts for repair, you must include the model, type and serial number located on the rating plate. If any product submitted for warranty service is found to be ineligible, an estimate of repair cost will be furnished and the repair performed only if requested by the owner and upon receipt of payment or acceptable arrangements for payment. Further limitations and exclusions: Any warranty that may be implied in connection with your purchase or use of the vacuum, including any warranty of Merchantability or any warranty of Fitness For A Particular Purpose is limited to the duration of this limited warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. Your relief for the breach of this warranty is limited to the relief expressly provided above. In no event shall the manufacturer be liable for any consequential or incidental damages you may incur in connection with your purchase or use of the vacuum. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights, which may vary by state.
