IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR UPRIGHT VACUUM.
Always connect to a polarized outlet (one slot is wider than the other). Unplug from outlet when not in use and before conducting maintenance. When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following:

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

» Do not leave vacuum cleaner when it is plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
» 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.
» 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 handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
» Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
» Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner 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.

» Do not use to pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, 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.

WARNING

›› Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from children.
›› Do not plug in your vacuum cleaner UNTIL you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.
›› To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn power switch off and disconnect polarized plug from electrical outlet BEFORE performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

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 plug in any way.

you’re finished, lean it all the way back up to lock it into the upright position.

Height Adjustment

You can easily raise or lower your vacuum to adjust to different flooring types. Simply turn the knob towards the desired flooring
type. If your vacuum becomes too difficult to push, just move to a higher setting.

NOTE: Some frieze and berber carpets have long delicate fibers or threads that may be damaged by rotating brush. Repeated strokes in the same area may
enhance this condition.

WARNING

Before using you vacuum, make sure the bag and filter are in
place and the bag door is secure. DO NOT operate your vacuum without the bag and filter.

WARNING

The rotating floor brush continues to rotate while tools are in use. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, always move the cleaner with the carry handle at the front of the unit. Always place the cleaner on the floor with the handle in the upright position when using tools. Never place your fingers under the cleaner when it is running. Never place the powerfoot on furniture or uneven surfaces. Do not place vacuum cleaner close enough to objects to pull them into rotating brush.
