OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using Your Vacuum Cleaner

Note: Make sure the vacuum cleaner is completely assembled and the dust cup is empty before using. Do not use vacuum cleaner without filters in place.

1. Pull cord out of canister to desired length.
   Note: The yellow mark on the power cord shows the ideal cord length. Do not extend the power cord beyond the red mark.
   

2. Plug the power cord into an outlet located near the floor.
   
   
   To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner 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.
3. Press the on/off switch to turn the vacuum on.
   
4. Once you have completed vacuuming, press the on/off button to turn the vacuum off and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Then press the cord rewind button to rewind the power cord.

Note:

• Guide the cord with one hand to ensure that it does not whip causing damage.
• It is recommended to rewind the cord fractionally 3-4 times to avoid personal injury or the cord getting stuck.
• When the cord is stuck, pull the cord out and depress the cord rewind button to rewind the cord. Do not over-pull the cord.

• The cord moves rapidly when rewinding. Keep children away and provide a clear path when rewinding the cord to prevent personal injury.
• DO NOT use outlets above counters. Damage from cord to items in surrounding area could occur.

Using the Attachments

• Floor Nozzle
  Use the standard setting for carpet cleaning. Depress the carpet/bare floor selector to transition to bare floor cleaning.
  
• Telescoping Wand
  Adjust the length of the wand to your desired height by pushing the slider adjust button.

  Note:You can also choose to use your vacuum cleaner by inserting the crevice tool or the dusting brush into the hose directly.
