2. WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR IF USED OUTDOORS OR ON WET SURFACES.

3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the machine when in use.

4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

5. 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.

6. WARNING - The replacement or repair of damaged wiring should only be performed by a qualified electrician or service engineer from the original distributor or authorized service agent.

7. 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.

8. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

9. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

10. Turn off all controls before unplugging.

11. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.

12. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

13. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.

14. Do not use without vacuum bag and/or filters in place.

15. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

16. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.

17. Do not attempt to service the unit while appliance is plugged in.

18. For grounded models, connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.

19. This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.

Grounding Instructions

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

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. 1. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

No adapter should be used with this appliance.

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.

The replacement or repair of damaged wiring should only be performed by a qualified electrician or service engineer from the original distributor or authorized service agent

How to Change the Filters

Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a secondary filter and a HEPA media filter.

These filters capture fine dust particles and protect the motor from dirt. Accumulated dirt in the bag compartment will be collected on the filters and may restrict motor performance. It is important to change the filters regularly — approximately once a year or as needed.

How to Change the Secondary Filter

1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove the bag compartment cover and remove the vacuum bag.

2. Remove the secondary filter by sliding it out from under the bag supporter (Fig. 1).

3. Insert a new filter, replace the bag and bag compartment cover.

How to Change the HEPA Media Filter

1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove the filter cover below the dust compartment cover (Fig. 2).

2. Remove the filter from the front of the vacuum (Fig. 3).

3. Insert a new filter and replace the filter cover.

1. To use the cleaning tools, lift the hose handle straight up from the vacuum (Fig. 1).

2. Extend the wand by pulling the button back and pulling the smaller wand out of the larger wand (Fig. 2).

3. Attach any of the on-board tools to the end of the wand, or if you do not need the wand, any tool can be connected directly onto the hose handle.
