Before turning on your canister, make sure that you have a firm hold on the handle grip to keep the machine from moving forward.

1.With the canister main power control knob (9) in the OFF position, grasp the plug and pull the power cord (6) out from the power cable recess (22). The power cord (6) should be unwound from the cable reel at least two thirds of its length. Note: do not over-extend the cord.

2.Plug the polarized power cord into a 120 volt wall outlet located near the floor.

3.Press the main power control knob on the base of the canister (9) gently with your foot or hand. The green light (10) will illuminate indicating that the power is on (K3 model only).

! WARNING! The quality, condition, coating, texture, age and manufacturing technique of all floor surfaces vary. Therefore, vacuums with rotating brushes, including your SEBO, may damage some floor coverings or surfaces. Some types of high-gloss hardwood floors,cushion vinyl, berber carpets, long shag, and delicate or hand-wovencarpets are particularlyvul- nerable to damage by rotating brushes. When possible, consult the materials supplied by your flooring manufacturer for infor- mation on proper upkeep and cleaning. To ensure that your new SEBO vacuum cleaner is compatible with your floor, please test the vacuum cleaner on each type of flooring surface in a small inconspicuous area to determine if any damage occurs. If damage occurs, stop using the vacuum cleaner immediately!
