Your cleaner contains a thermal protective device to shut off the motor to avoid over-
heating. If this happens, turn switch off and unplug the cleaner. Inspect the exhaust,
inlet, and filters for any blockage. Empty the dirt container and clean filters. 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.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use
in areas where they may be present.
• Keep the vacuum cleaner on the floor. Only the hand-held vacuum cleaners may
be set on furniture.
• Cleaner must be in the upright position to lift the rotating brush off the carpet
when doing above floor cleaning.
• Do not use an extension cord with this vacuum cleaner.
• Store the vacuum cleaner indoors. Put the vacuum cleaner away after use to
prevent tripping accidents.
• Using improper voltage may result in damage to the motor and possible injury to
the user. Proper voltage is listed on the cleaner plate.
• Unplug before connecting Power Brush Tool.

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.
