IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING
Read all instructions before using vacuum cleaner. Use only as described in this manual, and follow all label and marking instructions found on unit. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY:
•Fully assemble before operating.
•DO NOTuse without paper bags and/or filters
installed.
•DO NOT leave unattended when plugged in. Unplug
from outlet when not in use, and before servicing.
DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces. DO NOT
handle vacuum cleaner or plug with wet hands.
• Only plug vacuum cleaner into a properly grounded
outlet. See “Electrical Grounding” instructions.
DO NOT unplug by pulling on power cord. To
unplug from an outlet, pull by the plug, not the cord.
DO NOT use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids. DO NOT use in areas where these substances may be present. Electrical devices produce arcs or sparks that can cause explosions. DO NOT use anywhere that gasoline is dispensed.
DO NOT use in an enclosed space where flammable, explosive, or toxic vapors are given off by oil base paint, paint thinner, certain mothproofing substances, or in an area where flammable dust is present.
DO NOT pick up toxic/carcinogenic/hazardous materials such as chlorine, bleach, drain cleaner, gasoline, asbestos, pesticides, or lead.
DO NOT pick up any materials that are burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• During use, keep hose, wands, and other openings away from your face and body. Keep hands, feet, hair, loose clothing, and other body parts away from openings and moving parts.
DO NOT put any object into openings. DO NOT
use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may reduce air flow.
• Only use manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance of your vacuum cleaner will assure continued effective cleaning performance.
1. Always use genuine Rubbermaid Commercial Products replacement parts. Any maintenance
or service not covered in this manual should be performed by an authorized service representative.
2. Indoor use only. Store indoors.
3. Replace paper bag frequently.
4. Replace air filter, exhaust filter, and brush roll as necessary.
Electrical Grounding
This appliance must be grounded. Should the unit malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current. This reduces the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor, and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are unsure if an outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance to fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the sketch below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
DO NOT use with damaged cord or plug.
DO NOT pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle,
close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. DO NOT run vacuum cleaner over power cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
DO NOT use with an extension cord.
• Turn on/off switch to “off” before unplugging.
DO NOT leave power cord lying on floor when not
in use. It can become a tripping hazard.
• Use with caution on stairs.
• Use with caution when vacuuming over area rug
edges and fringe.
DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary during use by or around children.
• If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should— or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or exposed to water—discontinue use immediately and take it to a service center for inspection. Call 1-866-524-5233 to find a location near you.

LED Diagnostic Guides
Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with an on-board LED diagnostic system. This system of LED lights is designed to help you understand the status of your vacuum cleaner during usage - and to help you diagnose regular service needs or problems as they arise.
Different combinations of LED lights communicate different messages. To help you understand the meaning of each of these LED light combinations, your vacuum cleaner has a diagnostic guide located inside the bag door on the upper structure. Use this LED diagnostic guide to determine the meaning of each LED light combination.
