SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way.
Your cleaner contains a thermal protective device to shut off the motor to avoid
overheating. If this happens, turn switch off and unplug the cleaner. Inspect the
exhaust, inlet, hose, and filters for any blockage. Change bag if full. After
approximately 30 minutes the motor will have cooled and the vacuum will be
ready to use. NOTE: The cleaner must remain unplugged during the 30 minute
cooling period.
