IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be taken,
including the following.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
1. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet
when not in use and before servicing.
2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Do not allow it to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used
by or near children or infirm persons.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer's
recommended attachments.
5. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the vacuum cleaner is not
working as it should, or if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or
dropped into water, return it to a service center.
6. Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the
cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum
cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
8. Do not handle the plug or the vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
9. Do not put any objects into the openings. Do not use with any opening
blocked: keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all the parts of your body away from
openings and moving parts.
11. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes.
12. Do not use without dust compartment and/or filters in place.
13. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
14. Use extra care by not over stretching the hose when cleaning on the stairs
as this may cause the cleaner to tilt if not used correctly, resulting in friction
which in turn may damage the cleaner and the carpet.
15. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or
use in areas where they may be present.
16. Do not touch the agitator while it is spinning.
17. Do not place any heavy items on top of the vacuum cleaner.
18. Do not step on the hose or pull it too hard.

19. Do not pick up items such as pieces of waste paper or cloth which look as
though they may cause the hose to become blocked.
20. Do not clean or store the vacuum cleaner in places where there are high
temperatures.
21. Store the vacuum cleaner away from excessive humidity.
22. When carrying the vacuum cleaner, hold it by the carrying handle.
23. Before servicing the vacuum cleaner, allow all metal parts to cool first.
24. Always place your foot on the handle release when adjusting the handle
position of the vacuum cleaner.
25. If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by
a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer, because special purpose
tools are required.
26. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision.
27. Young children should be supervised to ensure that do not play with the
appliance.
28. The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before cleaning or
maintaining the appliance.
