IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical
appliance, basic
precautions should be observed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING YOUR
UPRIGHT VACUUM.
Always connect to a polarized outlet (left slot is wider
than right). Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before conducting maintenance.
WARNING: To reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury:
■
Do not modify the polarized plug to fit a
non-polarized outlet or extension cord.
■
Do not leave vacuum cleaner unattended
when it is plugged in.
■
Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.
■
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

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.
