IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

  • Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

  • Do not leave a vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.

  • Do not allow it to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

  • Use only as described in this manual.
    Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

  • 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 into water, call the Eureka Customer Service HELPLINE at 1-800-282-2886.

  • Do not pull or carry by a cord. Do not use a cord as a handle. Do not close a door on the cord or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners.
    Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

  • Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.

  • Turn off all controls before unplugging.

  • Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

  • Do not handle a plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

  • Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use with any openings blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.

  • This vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a revolving brush roll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

  • Do not place vacuum cleaners on furniture or stairs as the brush roll may cause damage. Use extra care when cleaning stairs. Place vacuum cleaner on the floor with the handle in storage position while using attachments.

  • Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

  • Do not use without a dust cup, filter, and screen in place.

  • Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.

  • Do not use it to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use it in areas where they may be present.

  • Store your vacuum cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.

  • Keep your work area well lit.

  • Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.

  • WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Di(2-Ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in 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 to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way

Motor
Do Not Oil the motor or the brush roll at any time. The bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed.
