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
quipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
e
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.

How to Clean the Nozzle Hose
CAUTION:
Unplug the vacuum cleaner.
The nozzle hose, located on the back of the vacuum cleaner, carries the dirt
from the nozzle to the vacuum bag.
If the hose should become clogged
1. Pull out the lid of the cleaning attachment port opening. Remove the clog
or blockage (Fig. 1).
2. If the above step is not enough, turn the unit over and remove the bottom
plate (see "How To Remove Bottom Plate."). Check nozzle inlet tube for
obstructions. Clear tube and reinstall the bottom plate.
Thermal Fuse Protection
Fig. 1
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 on the bottom of the back side of the main body
(roughly one inch to the right of the left wheel).
5. Using a pencil, paper clip, or other pointy object, push the reset button.
6. Plug vacuum cleaner in and begin using.
Please contact your CleanMax Retailer with any questions.
