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.
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, 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
inserted 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 plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A
temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure
B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as
shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter
is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Clean burst pedal
A special ‘clean burst’ feature provides a focused burst of
steam for spot cleaning difficult-to-remove soil.
To use the clean burst feature:
It is recommended to turn vacuum off; use steam feature
only for best performance.
Press clean burst pedal to ‘spot clean’ position for five to
10 seconds. Allow steam burst to spray onto dried spills or
spots (Fig. 1).
Move floor nozzle back and forth to clean soiled area (Fig. 2).
Return pedal to ‘floor mop’ position after using clean burst.
N O T I C E
The steam feature can kill dust mites and some types of
bacteria when used properly. To disinfect a specific area, turn
steam on and position Vac & Steam over the area for a
minimum of eight seconds. This allows the floor under the
steamer to reach approximately 170oF. Use this procedure
to disinfect floors in bathrooms, pet sleeping quarters, etc.
