When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, 

including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

  Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

 

Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. 

Turn off the switch and unplug 

the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.

  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  at-

tachments.

  Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, 

has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a ser-

vice center before using.

  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 use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.

  Turn off all controls before unplugging.

  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 or operate without shoes.

  Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free 

of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.

  This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts 

of body away from openings and moving parts.

  Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or 

hot ashes.

  Do not use without dust bag or filter(s) in place.

  Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

  Do not pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas 

where they may be present.

  Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.

  Keep your work area well lighted.

  Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
