• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG

Cleaning with your hand vacuum

There are three ways to clean with your hand vacuum.

Power Foot Hand Vacuum
Connect the hand vacuum to the power foot. Clean your carpeted stairs, furniture, and other places that your upright vacuum cannot reach.
With the power foot connected to the hand vacuum, you can choose from two brush roll speeds. Slide the power switch up once and the brush roll will spin slowly. Slide the power switch up to the second position and the brush roll will spin quickly.

Power cord storage

When you are done cleaning, collect the cord to wrap onto the cord hooks on the extension wand.

1. Turn vacuum off.
2. Unplug the power cord by grabbing the plug (NOT the cord) and disconnect from outlet.
