WARNING!
Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and injury to persons or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic
safety precautions including the following:
- Use your vacuum cleaner only as described in this Use & Care Guide. Use only with the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
- Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing or cleaning out the brush roll area. Failure to do so could result in the brush roll unexpectedly starting, causing personal injury from moving parts.
- Do not leave the vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before performing maintenance.
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock – Do not use it outdoors or on wet surfaces.
- Do not allow it to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
- Do not use a damaged cord or plug. If the vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, immediately discontinue use and call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.
- Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
- Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
- Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
- Do not put any objects into openings.
- Do not use any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
- Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.
- Turn off all controls before unplugging.
- Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
- Do not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on the floor.
- Do not use a vacuum cleaner to pick up flammable or combustible liquids (gasoline, cleaning fluid, perfumes, etc.), or use in areas where they may be present. The fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard or explosion.
- Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
- Do not use a vacuum cleaner without a dust cup and/or filters in place.
- Always clean the dust cup after vacuuming carpet cleaners or fresheners, powders, and fine dust. These products clog the filters, reduce airflow, and can cause damage to the vacuum cleaner. Failure to clean the dust cup could cause permanent damage to the vacuum cleaner.
- Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum cleaner or dust cup.
- You are responsible for making sure that your vacuum cleaner is not used by anyone unable to operate it properly.

PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES
THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which automatically trips to
protect the vacuum cleaner suction motor. If a clog prevents the normal flow
of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically.
This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the
vacuum cleaner.
To reset the thermal protector: Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug the
power cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal
protectors to reset.
CAUTION
Always return the vacuum cleaner to the upright position before using the hose
and attachments. Failure to do so may result in overheating of the brush roll
motor and can cause the thermal protectors to trip.
Check for and remove clogs, and empty the dust cup if necessary. Also, check and clean any clogged filters. Wait approximately 50 minutes before restarting the vacuum cleaner.
BRUSHROLL RESET
The brush roll has built-in protection against motor damage should the brush
roll jam. If the brush roll slows down or stops, the brush roll overload
protector shuts off the brush roll motor and the brush roll indicator light
emits red light. The vacuum cleaner suction motor will continue to run.
To correct the problem: Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner, remove the
obstruction, then turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The brush roll indicator
light will be off.
NOTE: Once the brush roll motor shuts down, clear the jam from the brush
roll and then restart the vacuum cleaner. If the problem persists, contact the
vacuum cleaner helpline for assistance.
SUCTION CONTROL
To assist with the push/pull force of the vacuum on surfaces like a thick
carpet, the suction control valve can be opened to help reduce suction. Note
that for best cleaning results, the suction control valve must be fully
closed.
- Slide to “Min” to open the suction control and decrease suction. Opening control decreases suction for draperies and lightweight rugs.
- Slide to “Max” to close the suction control and increase suction. Closing control increases suction for upholstery and carpets.
VACUUM MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Always follow all safety precautions when performing maintenance to the vacuum
cleaner.
WARNING
Electrical Shock and Personal Injury Hazard
Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing or cleaning the vacuum
cleaner. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury
from a vacuum cleaner suddenly starting.
CLEANING EXTERIOR AND ATTACHMENTS
- Turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner. DO NOT drip water on a vacuum cleaner.
- To clean the exterior, or to reduce static electricity and dust build-up, wipe the outer surface with a clean, soft cloth that has been dipped in a solution of mild liquid detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe dry after cleaning.
NOTE: Wash attachments in warm soapy water, rinse, and air dry. Do not clean in the dishwasher.
CAUTION
Do not use attachments if they are wet. Attachments used in dirty areas, such
as under a refrigerator, should not be used on other surfaces until they are
washed. They could leave marks.
VACUUM CLEANER STORAGE
WARNING
Electrical Shock and Personal Injury Hazard
Wrapping the cord too tightly puts stress on the cord and can cause cord
damage. A damaged cord is an electrical shock hazard and could cause personal
injury or damage.
- Place attachments in storage position if necessary (see page 9).
- Gather the cord and wrap it loosely around the upper and lower cord hooks. Lock the plug retainer onto the power cord.

NOTE: Make sure the exhaust filter cover is properly installed.
brush roll CLEANING
WARNING
Always unplug the power cord from an electrical outlet before performing
maintenance on the vacuum cleaner.
To maintain efficient cleaning, the brush roll must be kept free of carpet
fiber, string, or hair build-up. If the brush roll is jammed, unplug and turn
the vacuum cleaner over and check the brush roll for fiber and hair buildup.
Use scissors to remove any build-up entangled around the brush roll. Cleaning
the brush roll periodically is recommended for the best performance.

result in electrical shock or personal injury.
CHECKING FLEXIBLE HOSE & WAND FOR **CLOGS**
