SAFETY CONTINUED
• Do not use if nozzle or accessory airflow is
restricted. If the air paths or the motorized
floor nozzle become blocked, turn the
vacuum off and unplug from electrical outlet.
Remove all obstructions before plugging in,
and turn on the unit again.
• Keep nozzle and all vacuum openings away
from hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet or
loose clothing
• Do not use if vacuum is not working as it
should, or has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not leave the vacuum unattended while
plugged in.
• When powered on, keep the vacuum moving
over the carpet surface at all times to avoid
damaging the carpet fibers.
• Do not place vacuum on unstable surfaces
such as chairs or tables.
• Do not use to vacuum:
a) Liquids
b) Large objects
c) Hard or sharp objects (glass, nails, screws
or coins)
d) Large quantities of dust (drywall dust,
fireplace ash or embers). Do not use as
an attachment to power tools for dust
collection.

• Turn off all controls before plugging in or
unplugging the vacuum.
• Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use
and before any maintenance or cleaning.

cleaning chemicals could damage the unit.
• During cleaning or routine maintenance,
do not cut anything other than hair, fibers or
string wrapped around the brushroll.
• Allow all filters to air-dry completely before
replacing in the vacuum to prevent liquid
from being drawn into electric parts.
• Ensure the dust cup and all filters are in place
after routine maintenance.
• If provided, secure the power cord around the
two cord hooks during storage.
