IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions in this guide before assembling or using your vacuum cleaner.
WARNING:
Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety
precautions including the following:
Use your vacuum cleaner only as
described in this manual. Use only with
Kenmore recommended attachments.
Disconnect electrical supply before
servicing or cleaning out the brush area.
Failure to do so could result in the brush
unexpectedly starting, causing personal
injury from moving parts.
Do not leave vacuum cleaner when
plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not
in use and before performing
maintenance.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock -
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or
near children.
Do not use with a damaged cord or
plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working
as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, return it to an
authorized Kenmore service center for
assessment before using again.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord
as a handle, close a door on cord, or
pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner
with wet hands.
Do not put any objects 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Proper assembly and safe use of your vacuum cleaner are your responsibilities. Your

important use and safety information. This guide contains safety statements under warning
and caution symbols.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep
on floor.
Do not use vacuum cleaner to pick up
flammable or combustible liquids
(gasoline, cleaning fluid, perfumes, etc.),
or use in areas where they may be
present. The fumes from these
substances can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
Do not pick up anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,
or hot ashes.
Do not use vacuum cleaner without dust
cup and/or filters in place.
Always clean the dust cup after
vacuuming carpet cleaners or freshener,
powders, and fine dust. These products
clog the filters, reduce airflow and can
cause damage to the vacuum cleaner.
Failure to clean the dust cup could cause
permanent damage to the vacuum
cleaner.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick
up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins,
paper clips, etc. They may damage the
