IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following.
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.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
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
blocked: keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all the parts of your body away from
openings and moving parts.
11. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes.
12. Do not use without dust compartment and filters in place.
13. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
14. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
15. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or
use in areas where they may be present.

16. Do not touch the agitator while it is spinning.
17. Do not place any heavy items on top of the vacuum cleaner.
18. Do not step on the hose or pull it too strongly.
19. Do not pick up items such as pieces of waste paper or cloth which looks as
though they may cause the hose to become blocked.
20. Do not clean or store the vacuum cleaner in places where there are high
temperatures.
21. Store the vacuum cleaner away from excessive humidity.
22. When carrying the vacuum cleaner, hold it by the carrying handle.
23. Before servicing the vacuum cleaner, allow all internal metal parts to cool first.
24. Always place foot on handle release when adjusting the handle position
of the vacuum cleaner.
25. If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by
FANTOM, because special purpose tools are required.
26. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See "Grounding Instructions".
27. The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord is
absolutely necessary, use at least a 16 gauge 3-wire cord which has a
3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the
machine plug.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor (C),and grounding
plug (A). The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER-
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in the
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 is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug (A) illustrated in the sketch.
A temporary adapter (D) may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
(E) if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (B) can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) 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 (G).
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.
