When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including 
the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE 

USING THIS APPLIANCE

 

 

 

  

The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage 
caused when the appliance is not used according to the 
instructions, or for uses other than those for which it 
was intended. 

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

•  Do not leave appliance when plugged in. 

unplug from outlet when not in use and 

before servicing. 

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces. 

•  Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close 

attention is necessary when used by or 

near children. 

•  Use only as described in this manual. 

Use only manufacturer’s recommended 

attachments. 

•  Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If 

appliance is not working as it should, has 

been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, 

or dropped into water, return it to a 

service center. 

•  Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as 

a handle, close a door on cord, or pull 

cord around sharp edges or corners. Do 

not run appliance over cord. Keep cord 

away from heated surfaces.

•  Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To 

unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. 

•  Do not handle plug or appliance with wet 

hands. 

•  Do not put any objects into openings. Do 

not use with any opening blocked; keep 

free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that 

may reduce air flow. 

•  Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all 

parts of body away from openings and 

moving parts. 

•  Do not pick up anything that is burning 

or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, 

or hot ashes. 

•  Do not use without dust bag and/or 

filters in place. 

•  Turn off all controls before unplugging.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. 

•  Do not use to pick up flammable or 

combustible liquids such as gasoline or 

use in areas where they may be present. 

•  Connect to a properly grounded outlet 

only. See Grounding Instructions.

SAvE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE

WARNING:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding 
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric 
shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord that uses an equipment-grounding 
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate 
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes 
and ordinances.

WARNING:

 

 Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of 
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt 
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with 
the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified 
electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt (240-volt for models CI10 & BF10) 
circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated 
below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same 
configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
