Dear DESTINY e Plus Owner:
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of one of the finest vacuum cleaners made in North America.

The DESTINY e Plus 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 isa 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 isenvironmentally friendly.

Please read this Operating Manual carefully to understand fully the features of the DESTINY e Plus vacuum cleaner.
