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

1. Do not leave appliance plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces, any wet material or in a wet environment.

3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left

outdoors, or dropped in water, return to a service center.

6. 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 appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

that may reduce airflow.

10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

15. Do not use to pick up any liquids, flammable or combustible, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be

present.

16. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.

17. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug. No adapter should be
used with the plug. The Express is for use on a nominal 120-volt 50/60Hz. Circuit. 230V Optional.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

The vacuum is packed with a cartridge filter, or a bag & bag holder filter. When it is time to change the filter, follow these
simple instructions:

1. Unplug the vacuum from the power source.

2. Set the vacuum upright, resting on the back of the machine with the Inlet Door facing you.

3. With your thumb and forefinger, pull out the curved side tabs of the Inlet Door until they are free from the latching area

of the body of the vacuum. Then pull the cover towards you. The cover will separate from vacuum body and the
cartridge filter, or bag & shell filter can be changed.

4. Cartridge filter replacement-Install a new cartridge with the pleated paper end towards the motor. Note: The inlet hole

in front of the canister filter is slightly off-center. It should be installed with the label facing the top of the vacuum.

5. Bag filter replacement-Insert new bag into the shell filter. Replace the shell filter once the inside of the shell filter is

covered with debris. Insert shell filter with label facing up.

6. Replace the door, aligning it carefully, first the top, then the bottom. Press down firmly and evenly on the side tabs,

pushing past the second notch.

7. Dispose of the filter cartridge in an appropriate manner compliant with all local, state, and federal laws.

8. These vacuums have a factory installed resettable Thermal Cutout (TCO) for added operator and motor safety. If the

unit gets too hot, the vacuum will shut down for approx. 20 minutes. Turn the on/off switch to the off position, and turn
back on in approximately 20 minutes. Your hose may be clogged, or it may be time to install a new filter.

Your Express Vacuum is covered by an 18 month limited warranty. Please contact your local distributor for further details.
