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 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.

» Turn OFF all controls before

plugging or unplugging vacuum cleaner.

» Do not use to pick up flammable

or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in areas where they may be present.

» Use extra care when cleaning

on stairs.

» Do not use vacuum cleaner in an

enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil-based paint, paint thinner, some moth-proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.

» 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.

» Do not pick up hard or sharp

objects such as glass, nails, screws,

coins, etc. » Use only on dry, indoor surfaces. » Keep appliance on a level surface. » Do not carry the vacuum cleaner

while it is running. » Unplug before connecting

or disconnecting the Pet

TurboEraser® Tool.

NOTICE

With Brush Roll ON, do not allow cleaner to sit in one location for an extended period of time, as damage to ﬂoor can result.

NOTICE

The Brush Roll continues to rotate while using your vacuum for above ﬂoor cleaning. To prevent carpet damage, turn the Brush Roll OFF and do not lean on vacuum or tilt forward.

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.

This model is for household use only.
