IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR VACUUM.

» Do not leave vacuum cleaner

when it is plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

» Do not use for any purpose other

than described in this User’s Guide. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

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.
