into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified

Attaching the Handle to the Vacuum
NOTE: Do not plug in the vacuum until it is completely assembled.
The vacuum cleaner and the handle are
packed separately and require assembly.
• Remove the handle screw located on the back of the vacuum (Fig. 1). Insert the
handle downward into the body of the
vacuum (Fig. 2). Insert screw and tighten.
• Open the bag compartment cover to ensure a vacuum bag is in place.
• Your vacuum is now ready for use.
• If storing the vacuum, wrap the cord
clockwise around the top and bottom cord hooks. Fasten the plug to the wrapped cord using the channel on the plug.
Fig. 1
Unwinding the Power Cord
• The Quick Release Upper Cord Hook
rotates to allow for quick access to the power cord. Turn the upper cord hook downward and you can quickly drop the power cord to the floor without unwinding
it from the cord hooks (Fig. 3).
• When storing the vacuum cleaner, turn the
Quick Release Upper Cord Hook to the upright position and wrap the power cord around the cord storage hooks.

oPeRAtIon
This vacuum is intended for household use only.
For carpet cleaning, push the On/Off Switch to the “On” position. The Carpet Button will illuminate indicating the carpet cleaning setting
is on (Fig. 1). The carpet cleaning setting will
remain on until the Carpet Button is pushed and the button is no longer illuminated.
Bare Floor Cleaning
For bare floor cleaning (i.e. tile, wood, or vinyl), push the On/Off Switch to the “On” position. Push the Carpet Button. The Carpet Button will no longer be illuminated indicating the carpet setting
is off and the bare floor setting is on (Fig. 2).
Brushroll Auto Shut-Off Feature
When the vacuum is turned on and in the
