vacuum cleaner before using
this portable deep cleaner.

Automatic Suction Shut-Off

The automatic suction shut-off functions when
the recovery tank is full of liquid. As the tank fills,
the float (inside the recovery tank) rises until it
shuts off the suction causing the motor sound
to become high pitched. When this happens,
empty the recovery tank.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always

be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS

WET PICKUP VACUUM CLEANER.

WARNING

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

• Do not immerse product. Use only on surfaces moistened by cleaning

process.

• Do not use outdoors or expose to rain.

• Use only Eureka brand cleaning solutions intended for this machine

application.

• Do not leave the portable deep cleaner when plugged in. Turn OFF

the switch 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 manufacturerʼs

recommended attachments.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the portable deep cleaner is

not working properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, return it to a service center immediately.

• 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 the portable
deep cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (refer to Grounding
Instructions).

• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying
capacity.

• Do not carry appliance while in use.

• Turn off all controls before unplugging.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the

cord.

• Do not handle plug or portable deep cleaner with wet hands.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening

blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce
airflow.

• This portable deep cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing,
fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot fireplace or barbecue ashes.

• Do not use without recovery tank in place.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• If the machine tips over during use, shut it off immediately, set it upright,

and wait for the motor to stop completely. This allows the float to return
to normal position and permits proper airflow through the cleaner.

• Do not use to pick up gasoline, acetone, perfumes, colognes, paint
thinners and other flammable liquids or use in places where they may
be present.

• Operate and store indoors in an area above 32°F where the machine
will not freeze.

• Keep your work area well lighted.

• Use appliance only on level surfaces.

INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding Instructions

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 plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in 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 the proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.

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.
