grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro
priate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of.
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the vacuum cleaner - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual
ified electrician.
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-vott circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in the following Figure. Make sure that
this vacuum cleaner is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug.
No adapter should be used with this vacuum cleaner.

Note: Before you plug in your Panasonic vacuum cleaner, make sure that the voltage
indicated on the rating plate located at the back of the vacuum cleaner is the same as
your local supply.

Your Panasonic upright vacuum cleaner is designed with an automatic self
adjusting nozzle. No manual adjustments are required. The height of the
nozzle is instantly and automatically adjusted to any carpet pile
height. This self adjusting feature allows
the nozzle to float evenly over Nozzle
all carpet pile surfaces.
EDGE CLEANING FEATURE
The edge cleaning feature provides for
improved cleaning of carpets near walls
and furniture.
The vac gauge located on the front of your vacuum
cleaner dust cover, indicates when the dust bag should
be changed. Change the dust bag when FULL is indi
cated in order to maintain the best cleaning efficiency.
When using some of the attachments they may restrict
airflow enough so that the vac gauge indicates full. If
this occurs remove attachment from hose and then you
should get a more accurate vac gauge reading.
NOTE: If the vac gauge indicates FULL while the
dust bag Is still empty, check to see if there are any
clogs as explained in the REMOVING CLOGS sec
tion. The vac gauge indicator may not move as
expected when loose, fluffy dust Is vacuumed.
