READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1. Use vacuum only as described in this manual.
2. Do not leave vacuum unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use.
3. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
4. Do not attempt to service vacuum while plugged in.
5. WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR IF USED OUTDOORS OR ON WET
SURFACES.
6. Do not allow vacuum to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
7. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
8. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run vacuum over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
9. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
10. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
11. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
12. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
13. Do not use vacuum to pick up anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes.
14. Do not use vacuum to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas
where they may be present.
15. Do not use vacuum to pick up water or any wet materials.
16. Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in place.
17. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. To avoid injury and damage, vacuum should remain at base
of stairs while in use.
18. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
19. This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
