Using the Extension Wand & Accessory Tools

the wand forward and pull the
extension out to the desired
length 

(fig 5).

Accessory Tools: The accesso-
ry tools can be used either with
or without the extension wand. 
To attach an accessory tool with
the extension wand, firmly slide
the small end of the extension
wand directly into the desired
accessory tool. To attach an accessory tool without the extension
wand, firmly slide the nozzle directly into the desired accessory tool.

Operating Recommendations

1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag–FIRST

PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.

2. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT.

3. If at any time the unit does not pick up properly or makes an 

unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.

4. Although your vacuum will pick up pins, paper clips, and other 

small objects, it is recommended that these be removed from the 
floor before you vacuum. Failure to do so may result in permanent
damage to the unit.

5. 

WARNING: Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet 
surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is 
dangerous to the user. Damage caused by use on wet or damp 
surfaces is not covered under warranty.

6. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month–even 

if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust bag can cause odor, 
attract moisture, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.

7. 

DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord.

8. 

Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges & fringe.
