Use
Power cord
,
Unwind the cord completely to
aid the vacuum in dissipating heat.
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 appliance over the cord. Keep
the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling the cord. To
unplug grasp the plug, not the cord.
This appliance is equipped with a
power cord reel. Hold the plug when
rewinding onto cord reel. Do not
allow plug to whip when rewinding.
Unwinding (see fig. 17)
^
Hold the plug and pull the power
cord out to the required length
(maximum 18 ft / 5.5 m).
^
Insert the plug into the electrical
outlet.
,
To reduce the risk of electric
shock, the vacuum 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. Do not alter the
plug in any way.
Danger of overheating and damage.

around when rewinding.
