IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including
the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS

APPLIANCE. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage

IMPORTANT:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, damage or injury:

caused when the appliance is not used according to the
instructions, or for uses other than those for which it
was intended.

• Empty the dust cup before the contents reach the

“fill line” on the dust cup. Over-filling the dust cup
may cause dirt and debris to clog the filter and
cause loss of suction.

• Always unplug the vacuum from the electrical
outlet before removing the dust cup.

• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug

from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

• WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD

OCCUR IF USED OUTDOORS OR ON WET
SURFACES.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention

is necessary when used by or near children.

• Use only as described in this manual. Use only

manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. Or if

appliance is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped
into water, return it to your Authorized Simplicity
Retailer for service.

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a

handle, close a door on the cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run
appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.

• Do not handle plug or appliance with
wet hands.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use

with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair and anything that may reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of

body away from openings and moving parts.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or

smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot
ashes.

• Do not use without filters in place.

• Turn off all controls before unplugging.

• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible

liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where
they may be present.

• Do not attempt to service the unit while appliance

is plugged in.

• Do not use vacuum to pick up water or any wet

materials.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,

grasp the plug, not the cord.

POLARIZATION INSTRUCTIONS

Power Cord, 2-Wire Polarized Cord

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the vacuum is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
