WARNING: 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 the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

This cleaner contains a thermal protector which will automatically shut off the current flow at abnormally high motor

temperatures. If the thermal protector is activated - turn main switch off and unplug the cleaner. Inspect the exhaust, inlet,
hose, dirt container, filter and secondary filter for any blockage. After approximately 30 minutes the motor will have cooled
and the vacuum will be ready to use. Note: The cleaner must remain unplugged during the 30 minute cooling period.

NOTE: RETURN WARRANTY CARD TO REGISTER YOUR CLEANER
