IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety precautions including the following:

Read this manuai before assembling or using

your vacuum cleaner.

Use your cleaner only as described in this

manual. Use only with supplied attachments.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock - Do not

use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

Disconnect electrical supply before servicing

or cleaning out brush area. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or brush suddenly starting.

Always turn cleaner off before connecting or

disconnecting the hose.

Always turn cleaner off before unplugging. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,

grasp the plug, not the cord.

Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If

cleaner is not working as It should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a

handle, close door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not leave cleaner when plugged in. Unplug

from outlet when not In use and before servicing.

Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention

is necessary when used by or near children.

Do not handle plug or cleaner with wet hands.

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

Do not operate the cleaner with a punctured

Do not use cleaner without dust bag and/or

filters in place.

Always change the dust bag after vacuuming

carpet cleaners or freshener, powders and fine dust. These products clog the bag, reduce airflow and can cause the bag to burst. Failure to change bag could cause permanent damage to the cleaner.

objects, small toys, pins, paper, etc. They may damage the cleaner or dust bag.

Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking,

USE AND CARE

HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust bin through the air flow passages. The dust bin lets the air pass through, while it traps the dirt. For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check the starred areas occasionally for clogs. Unplug from outlet before checking.

VACUUMING TIPS

Suggested sweeping pattern

For best cleaning action, the rug/floor nozzle should be pushed straight away from you and pulled straight back. This pattern should be continued across the rug with slow, gliding motions.

NOTE: Fast, jerky strokes do not provide

complete cleaning.

Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed regularly.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check occasionally for clogs. See HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS section.

Unplug from outlet before checking.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

SUCTION CONTROL

The handle air flow regulator allows you to change fhe vacuum suction for different fabric and carpet weights. Adjust the suction power with Air Flow

Regulator in the handle.

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

When the unit is running, the indicator will be clear if there are no clogs. When the indicator turns completely red, check If the dust bln is full or if other areas are clogged. See HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS.

Indicator

HOSE SWIVEL

The hose swivel prevents the hose from twisting. This is helpful for cleaning in small areas.

NOTE: Indicator may turn red when using attachments or when cleaning new carpet. This is due to reduced airflow caused by the vacuum seal between attachment and surface, or new carpet fuzz filling the dust bin quickly. Restore airflow by raising attachment slightly from surface you are cleaning, or empty dust bin if it is full.
