IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING  YOUR HAND VACUUM.

Always connect to a polarized outlet (left slot is wider than right). Unplug from outlet when not in use and before conducting maintenance.

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

• Do not modify the polarized plug to fit a non-polarized outlet or extension cord.
• Do not leave hand vacuum cleaner unattended when it is plugged in.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Unplug before attaching the nozzles.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not allow children to operate vacuum clean- er or use as a toy.
• Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• Do not use for any purpose other than described in this user’s guide.
• Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
• If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, have it repaired at an authorized service center.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a han- dle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated sur- faces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle hand vacuum cleaner or plug with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Turn off all controls before plugging or unplug- ging vacuum cleaner.
• Use extra care when cleaning stairs.
• Do not pick up flammable materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in the presence of explosive liquids or vapors.
• Do not pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.).
• Do not use hand vacuum cleaner in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil base paint, paint thinner, some moth proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.
• Do not pick up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use without filters in place.
• Use only on dry, indoor surfaces.
• Keep appliance on a level surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE  USE
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG.

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 in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet. Do not change the plugin anyway.
This model is for household use only
