Read all instructions before using this vacuum cleaner.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Remove hose from inlet valve and
unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near
children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended
attachments.
Some hoses contain electrical wires. Do not use if damaged, cut, or punctured. Avoid
picking up sharp objects.
Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnecting either hose or
motorized nozzle.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a 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 vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.

hot ashes.
