To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The 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 fi t, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Afin de réduire le risque de choc électrique, cet appareil est muni d’une fiche polarisée (une des lames est plus large). Cette fiche ne peut être insérée dans une prise polarisée que d’une seule façon. Si la fiche ne peut être insérée dans la prise, retourner la fiche. Si la fiche ne peut toujours pas être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate par un électricien qualifié. Ne pas modifier la fiche.

HOW TO MAINT AIN

The filters play a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. If the filters become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning takes place regardless of how powerful the unit. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, check the filters frequently and clean when necessary.

Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance. When vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, clean the filters more often.

NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before servicing the vacuum.

Emptying the Dust Compartment

Empty the dust compartment after each use or as necessary. When the compartment is full the dust will settle in the filter.

For ease of use, it is recommended that the dust compartment be emptied regularly.

1. Press the button latch and remove dust

compartment from unit.

2. To release the dust compartment lid, find

the latch at the bottom of the lid. Push down firmly with your thumb lifting with your fingers as in illustration #2.

3. Empty the dust compartment. Wipe the

compartment as necessary or rinse and dry it. (Note: Must not be washed in the

dishwasher.)

4. To reattach lid to dust compartment, put

tabs at top of lid inside the slots on the inside of the dust compartment. Push lid against dust compartment until it clicks into place.

5. Put dust compartment back in unit and push down firmly until button latch clicks into place. This will ensure a good seal

and maximum suction.

NOTE: Use only Eureka filters. Filter 1 part number 61055 and Filter 2 part number (Style HF1) 60286.

Cleaning/Changing Filters

There are two filters in your Whirlwind. The cleaner must never be used without the filters. A safety device prevents the insertion of the compartment if Filter 1 is not in place. Do not try to force the dust compartment shut.

Cleaning of Filter 1 When the Filter Indicator Light Comes On

Remove and empty the dust compartment as detailed above. Release the filter frame from the dust compartment lid. Remove filter from filter frame. Remove loose fibers and larger particles from the filter.

Hand wash the filter. Remove excess water and leave to air dry. The filter must not be tumble-dried.

Place the dry filter back into the filter frame. Place the filter frame back onto the dust compartment lid and put the dust compartment back into unit.

NOTE: The filter must be completely dry

before it is replaced.

If the filter indicator light is still on, check for possible blockages in the nozzle, tube or hose.

HOW TO MAINTAIN (continued)

Changing Filter 2, when the Filter 2 Light Comes On

Open filter cover and remove dirty filter unit. Place the new filter into the cleaner and close the cover. The original filtering performance is now restored.

Brush Roll

The brush roll turns to sweep and comb the carpet nap. Keep the brush roll free from hair and threads so it will continue cleaning. When the bristles of the brush roll no longer touch a piece of cardboard held across the bottom plate, the brush roll is ineffective because the bristles no longer touch the carpet nap. To maintain the most effective cleaning, install a new brush roll.

Brush Roll Belt

The brush roll belt on the motorized nozzle drives the brush roll to agitate, sweep, and comb the carpet nap. The belt should be checked regularly to be sure that it is in good condition. Replace the belt if it is stretching, cracking, or slipping. Cut away any hair or thread wound around the brush roll or belt pulley because the buildup could cause the belt to rotate unevenly.

Page 11

How to Replace Worn Belt or Light Bulb

Note: Disconnect power cord and wands from electrical hose before replacing belt or bulb. Belt pulleys can become

hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.

4. Return brush roll into base.

1. Remove two screws from bottom side. Turn over to grasp hood near handle socket and lift forward.

Replace headlight bulb, if necessary. Support socket with one hand and push light bulb into socket; turn to release. Place new light bulb into socket; turn to secure. Push light bulb and socket back so bulb will not touch lens cover. Use GENUINE EUREKA replacement bulb,

59224.

Continue to step 2 to change belt. Skip to step 7 and 8 to replace hood on motorized nozzle.

Brush Roll Pulley

2. Remove two screws located in front of the light bulb and lift up to remove the brush roll cover.

5. Rotate belt onto motor pulley.

6. Replace brush roll cover.

7. Tilt cover over ridge and push down.
