READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER

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

1. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.

2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

3. Do not allow vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children or infirmed persons.

4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer's

recommended attachments.

5. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the vacuum cleaner is not working

as it should, or if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return to FANTOM at 94 Main Mill Street, Door 16, Plattsburgh, NY 12901.

6. Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the

cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

8. Do not handle the plug or the vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

9. Do not put any objects into the openings. Do not use with any opening

openings and moving parts.

11. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,

matches or hot ashes.

13. Turn off all controls before unplugging.

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 applince - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
