Product Damage Hazard
Do not use the hose without the handle in
place. If the hose is used without the
handle, the hose will bend excessively,
causing it to crack.
CAUTION
Do not use attachments if they are wet.
Attachments used in dirty areas, such as
under a refrigerator, should not be used
on other surfaces until they are washed.
They could leave marks.
1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner. DO
NOT drip water on vacuum cleaner.
2. To clean exterior, or to reduce static
electricity and dust build-up, wipe outer
surface with a clean, soft cloth that has
been dipped in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe
dry after cleaning.
