STEP III Position tools

Polarized plug

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.

Cord clip

To help keep the cord out of the way
while vacuuming, position cord in
cord clip (A) located at rear of
cleaner on hose rack.
