When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not leave appliance when it is plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when the appliance is not in use, and
before servicing.
• Do not use outdoors, or on wet surfaces.
• Do not allow the appliance to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when it is used by or near
children.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, if it has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or has been dropped into water, return it to an authorized Sears Center for
inspection or call 1-800-488-1222 for an authorized Service Center near you.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use the cord as a handle; close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around
sharp edges or comers. Do not run appliance over the cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce airflow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving pads.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning, or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes while
operating the machine.
• Do not operate without the Collection Bin in proper place or damage to the motor may occur.
• Turn off the switch before unplugging.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be
present.
• Unplug cleaner before servicing. This includes such tasks as cleaning the rotating brush, removing a
blockage, replacing a broken belt, or light bulb.
• The machine should be turned off before removing or replacing the Collection Bin, HEPA Filter Housing
cover and the Filter Cadridge.
• Avoid the use of extension cords.
• Pick-up hard, sharp objects and other large surface litter by hand.
• When cleaning the outside of your machine, wipe with a damp versus dry cloth. This will reduce the effect of
any static electricity.
• Have repairs made by an authorized Sears Service Center. Do not try self repair as this will invalidate your
warranty.
• Use the DESTINY II vacuum cleaner only for its intended use as described in this Owner's Manual.
• When the Cleaning Wand is activated, the brush on the underside of the machine continues to rotate. When
using the Cleaning Wand, do not station the machine over the cord, carpet fringes or on soft upholstered
surfaces.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
POLARIZATION
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is 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.
DearKenmoreDESTINY_ IIVacuumOwner:
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of one of the finest vacuum cleaners made in North America.
The DESTINY II vacuum represents a remarkable advance in household cleaning.
It all began when its originators challenged the traditional standards of vacuuming performance. They sought
to improve upon existing technology by harnessing the force of two cyclones in sequence.
The result is a product that provides many advantages in power, performance and cleaning ease. Best of all,
this vacuum is user friendly. And, because it doesn't use paper filter bags, it is environmentally friendly.
Please read this Operating Manual carefully and review the How to Use Video, to understand fully the features
of the DESTINY II vacuum cleaner.
Also, PLEASE SAVE THIS OWNER'S MANUAL.
