ENGLISH

OPERATION

Using the Mattress Tool

The mattress tool can be used on your mattress or bedding to help in the removing of dirt and dust mites. This tool vibrates on the mattress to separate the dust and dirt from intended cleaning area.

Stairways and Landings

Use the Dusting brush or Pet hair turbine tool on stairs and landings. Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is placed so that it cannot tip or fall. See below and page 12 for instructions on selecting and using attachments.

Thermal Overload Protection

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal overload protector which automatically activates to protect the vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a clog disturbs the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically to allow the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.

To correct the problem: Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug the power cord. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also check and clean any dirty filters. Wait approximately 30 minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset. The thermal protector system will not reset until the vacuum cleaner has completely cooled down.

Agitator Motor Overload Protection

The agitator has a built-in protection against motor damage should the agitator jam. If the agitator slows down or stops, the agitator overload protector shuts off the agitator motor. The suction motor will remain on at this time.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction and press the reset button.

CARE & CLEANING

Always follow all safety precautions when cleaning and servicing the vacuum cleaner.

Storing the Vacuum Cleaner

When not in use, wrap the cord around the cord hanger as shown. Store the crevice tool in their proper places on the back of the vacuum cleaner.

WARNING

Electrical shock and personal injury hazard. Take care when wrapping the cord. Wrapping

the cord too tightly puts stress on the cord and can cause cord damage. Do not crisscross when wrapping the cord. A damaged cord makes an electrical shock hazard and could cause personal injury or damage.
