IMPORTANT  SAFETY  INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical 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:

1. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet
    when not in use and before servicing.

2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

3. Do not allow vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary

when used by or near children or infirmed persons.

4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer's
    recommended attachments.

6. Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the
    cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum
    cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

7. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

8. Do not handle the plug or the vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

9. Do not put any objects into the openings. Do not use with any opening
    blocked: keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.

10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all the parts of your body away from

    openings and moving parts.

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

    matches or hot ashes.

12. Do not use without dust compartment and filters in place.

13. Turn off all controls before unplugging.

14. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

15. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or

    use in areas where they may be present.

    water, return to FANTOM at 94 Main Mill Street, Door 16, Plattsburgh, NY 12901.
