Important Safeguards in French

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 fit, 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 étre insérée dans une prise polarisée que d’une seule façon. Si la fiche ne peut étre insérée dans la prise, retourner la fiche. Si la fiche ne peut toujours pas étre inséree dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate par un électricien qualifié. Ne pas modifier la fiche.

GENERAL INFORMA TION

The bag may have come dislodged in shipping. Check the bag to insure proper seating before attempting to use the cleaner . Do not operate the cleaner without a dust bag or the filters. Damage may result to the motor (see Dust Bag and Filter).

Automatic Motor Shut-Off

To protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermostat which automatically shuts off the motor if it overheats. Should this happen:

1. Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner because the thermostat will allow the cleaner to automatically start running again when the motor cools (approximately 30 minutes);

2. Check the hose, bag, and filters as a clogged hose, full bag, or dirty filters could cause the motor to overheat; and

3. Call 1-800-207-0923 for customer assistance if the cleaner will not operate after cooling for approximately 30 minutes.
