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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. 1. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this appliance.
Warning - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of 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 provided with the appliance. If it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Thermal Fuse Protection
Your CleanMax vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a Manual Reset Thermal Fuse Protector. This thermal
protector is designed to protect your vacuum cleaner from overheating due to a cutoff in airflow (i.e. clogged hose,
operating the vacuum without a bag). Should this situation occur, the thermal fuse protector will safely shut off your
vacuum cleaner to avoid any potential damage.
To reset the thermal fuse
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
2. Check for problem (over-filled bag, clog in hose, clogged filters, etc.).
3. Correct problem.
4. Locate “tripped” fuse — the small black button located at the bottom of the back side of the main body
(roughly one inch to the right of the left wheel).
5. Using a pointy object, push the reset button.
6. Plug vacuum cleaner in and begin using.
