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.
» Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs.
» Do not use to pick up flammable or
combustible materials (lighter fluid,
gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in
areas where they may be present.
» 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 TurboBrush® Tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This model is for household use only.
WARNING
» Before using your vacuum, make sure the Dirt Tank is in locked position and that all filters, both pre-
and post-filters, are in place. DO NOT operate your vacuum without these filters.
» Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suocation, keep away from children.
» Do not plug in your vacuum UNTIL you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.
» To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn power switch OFF and disconnect polarized plug from
electrical outlet BEFORE performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS
Hot
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.
