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.
IMPORTANT:
WARNING:
• 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 unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
