Page: 4 / 48

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS APPLIANCE
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by
non-compliance of these Important Safety Instructions.
WARNING-
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury:
Before using
Check the voltage rating of the
vacuum cleaner before connecting
the power cord to an electrical outlet.
Your power source should correspond
with the voltage rating plate located on
the underside of the vacuum. Use only
household AC outlets. Never use DC
power sources. If you are not sure of
your home’s voltage supply, consult a
qualified electrician. Connecting the
vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage
than indicated in these instructions may
result in damage to the vacuum cleaner
or injury.
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 alter the
plug in any way.
A damaged vacuum cleaner can
be dangerous. Check the
packaging, vacuum cleaner and
accessories for any signs of damage.
Do not use a damaged appliance.
Do not use with a damaged cord or
plug. If the appliance is not
working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or
submerged in water, bring it to a
service center.
The electrical outlet must be fitted
with a 15 A fuse.
