To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or property damage, when using
an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS VACUUM
1. Inspect power cord and plug for any
damage before use. DO NOT use
vacuum cleaner with a damaged
cord or plug. Turn off all controls
before plugging in or unplugging
the vacuum cleaner. Store your
vacuum cleaner with the power cord
secured around the two cord hooks.
To minimize the risk of power cord
damage, do not allow the motorized
brush roll to ingest the cord. If this
occurs, immediately shut off power
to the vacuum and remove the cord.
2. This appliance has a polarized plug,
if the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug (one blade is
wider than the other). If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT force into outlet or try to
modify to fit.
3. Your vacuum cleaner may consist of
a motorized nozzle, wand, hose, and/
or vacuum pod. This device contains
electrical connections, electrical
wiring, and moving parts that
potentially present risk to the user.
