To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
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.

the cleaner back in and push the on/off switch on (l). If the cleaner still does not run,
then take it to a Eureka Authorized Service Center for repair.
