IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following.
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THE VACUUM CLEANER
WAR N | N G- To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
1. Do not leave the vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet
when not in use and before servicing.
2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
3. Do not allow it to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used
by or near children.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer's
recommended attachments.
5. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the vacuum cleaner is not
working as it should, or if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or
dropped into water, return it to a service center.
6. 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 vacuum
cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the
cord.
8. Do not handle the plug or the vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
9. Do not put any objects into the openings. Do not use with any opening
blocked: keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all the parts of your body away from
openings and moving parts.
11. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes.
12. Do not use without paper bag and/or filters in place.
13. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
14. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
15. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or
use in areas where they may be present.

Do not touch the agitator while it is spinning.
Do not place any heavy items on top of the vacuum cleaner.
Do not step on the hose or pull it too strongly.
Do not pick up items such as pieces of waste paper or cloth which look as
though they may cause the hose to become blocked.
Do not clean or store the vacuum cleaner in places where there are high
temperatures.
Store the vacuum cleaner away from excessive humidity.
When carrying the vacuum cleaner, hold it by the carrying handle.
Before servicing the vacuum cleaner, allow all metal parts to cool first.
Always depress the foot pedal release when adjusting the handle position of
the vacuum cleaner.
(For Special Areas only Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Czecho.)
If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by a
repair shop appointed by the manufacturer, because special purpose tools are
required.

CLEANING AND REPLACING THE
SECONDARY FILTERS
Caution: Be sure to turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and disconnect the
power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning and replacing the filters.
CLEANING THE FILTER
The secondary filters consist of an electrostatic micron filter (a general filter in the case of
the SC-USMA/USMA/USWA) and a subfilter.
The electrostatic micron filter should be replaced at least once every 10 months in order
to maintain cleaning performance. Only use genuine Sanyo replacement filters.
Depress the foot pedal release and set
the handle to the parallel position.
2 Remove the filter cover.
Grasp the filter cover with a hand on
each side, press inward and pull the filter
cover away from the vacuum cleaner.
Replace the electrostatic micron filter.
(SC-U11MA only)
Caution: The electrostatic filter cannot be
reused. |
f For SC-USMA/USMA/USWA:
After washing the filter in water and
leaving the filter in a shady place to dry for
about one day, make sure that it is
