If there is no dust bag in place, you
cannot close the dust compartment lid.

safety of the vacuum cleaner. Wait for
freshly shampooed carpets to dry
before vacuuming.
~
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner,
such as that used in printers and
photocopiers can conduct electricity. In
addition, it may not be completely
filtered out by the filter system of the
vacuum cleaner and can thus be blown
back in the air by the fan.

Do not vacuum anything that is
burning or smoking such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes. The vacuum
cleaner could catch fire.
~
Do not vacuum flammable or
combustible liquids, or vacuum in areas
where they may be present. The

the cord, or pull the cord around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run the
appliance over the cord. Keep the
cord away from heated surfaces.
~
Do not handle the plug or vacuum
with wet hands.

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers,
and all parts of body away from

Do not place anything into the
openings of the vacuum. Do not use if
any openings are blocked; keep them
free of dust, lint, hair or anything that
may reduce air flow.
