IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
POLARIZED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into
outlet or try to modify to fit.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION: The motorized floor nozzle, wand, and handle contain
electrical connections:
- These are not serviceable parts.
- Do not use to vacuum any liquids.
- Do not immerse in water when cleaning.
- If handle/wand is damaged, discontinue use.
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be observed, including the following:
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
1 DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
2 Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before servicing.
3 Inspect power cord or plug for any damage before use. DO NOT use vacuum
cleaner with a damaged cord or plug.
4 If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, or has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to EURO-PRO Operating LLC for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
5 The hose contains electrical wires. Do not use when damaged, cut or punctured.
6 DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use the cord as a handle.
7 DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord; to unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
8 DO NOT handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
9 DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the power cord, close a door on the cord, or
pull cord around sharp corners.
10 The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
11 DO NOT leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in.
