Unplug from outlet when not in use and before conducting maintenance. When
using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including
the following:

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 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.

matches, or hot ashes.

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.

Assembly
WARNING
Do not plug in your vacuum until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.
The only tool you will need to assemble your vacuum is a Phillips screwdriver
Place the upper handle onto the base and push it down. Then attach the
handle with the 2 screws that are taped to the handle in a plastic bag.
Wrap the power cord around the cord wrap clips and clip the end
of the plug tothe power cord.
To experience freshness as you vacuum, locate the Febreze® scent tag at the
bottom of
the vacuum bag. Carefully pull the tab along the perforated lines in the
center of the scent tag.
NOTE : Only a portion of the overwrap should be removed.
Next, insert the end of the hose into the back of the vacuum and twist to lock it into place.
Now wrap the hose through the hose clip and connect the hose wand to
the foot hose down at the bottom of the vacuum.
Put your accessory tools on the vacuum and you’re ready to go!
NOTE: The Flexible Pet Crevice Tool does not store on-board.
Power Switch
Press the red power switch with your foot to turn on the unit. Press it again
to turn your vacuum
off when you’ve finished cleaning.
Press the recline pedal to lean your vacuum back for cleaning. To get even
lower, press the recline pedal a second time. When
you’re finished, lean it all the way back up to lock it into the upright
position.
NOTICE
The floor brush will continue to rotate while you use your vacuum for above
floor cleaning.
To prevent carpet damage, do not lean on the vacuum or let the powerfoot tilt
forward.
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.
Tools
Your new CleanView® Pet vacuum not only does a great job on your floors, it also comes with a complete set of accessory tools to make your above floor cleaning jobs easier. Just put your vacuum in the upright position, pick the accessory tool that best fits your needs and attach it to the end of your hose. You’re ready to clean base boards, curtains, upholstery and much more.
Changing the Bag
As you use your CleanView® Pet vacuum, eventually your bag will get full and
need to be replaced. To check it,
open the bag door and inspect the bag. If the bag is full, it is time to
replace it.
Remove the old bag by grabbing the dust bag collar and pull towards you to
remove it from the
vacuum. Then carefully throw it away.
Grab a new bag, grasp the collar and press it onto the connector tube. Tuck
the bag into the bag compartment. If it’s a Febreze® bag, open the
wrapper on the scent tag by pulling along the perforated line to release the
Febreze® freshness. Put the bag door back on and you’re finished.

Cleaning the Pre-Motor Filter
Remove the bag door cover by pressing the latch down and pulling the door off.
Locate the filter on the left side at the bottom of the bag compartment.
You may need to lift the bag out of the way to find it.
Remove the pre-motor filter. Clean it with warm water. Once it’s clean and dry, put it back into the unit.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn power switch off and disconnect
polarized plug
from electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting
checks.
WARNING
Do not operate the vacuum with damp or wet filters, without the bag in place,
or with the
bag door missing. Allow components to dry before reassembling the unit.
Replace the Brush & Belt
Unplug vacuum, turn over and unscrew Philips head screws to remove bottom cover. This model has 6 screws.
Lift roller straight out. If the belt is not broken, remove roller from inside of the looped belt.
Replace the brush roll and belt by looping the belt over the motor shaft and
the brush roll. Line up the end caps and pull the brush
forward into place. This will stretch the belt. Once the brush roll is
installed, place the bottom cover back on and replace the screws.
Clearing a Clog
Remove the hose from the back of the vacuum by twisting it to the left. Remove any debris that may have gotten clogged.
Check the foot hose on the back of your vacuum down towards the bottom. Remove
the screw from the foot hose
and check for clogs.
Check the air passageway on the bottom of your vacuum. Remove the bottom cover and the brush. Remove any debris.
