Using your Vacuum

Note: Once all

attachments are in place, unwind a sufficient length of cable and insert the plug into the wall outlet. A yellow mark on The power cord shows the ideal

cable length. Don't pull the power cord beyond the red mark.

1.Insert the power plug into the wall outlet. (Fig. 1)

2.Press the Power On/Off button located on the unit to turn the vacuum cleaner

"On".

3. To rewind the

power cord, press the cord rewind button with one hand and hold the plug of the power cord with the other hand to ensure that it does not whip causing damage or injury. (Fig. 2)

Manual Suction Control

Your vacuum cleaner includes a manual variable suction control. The suction power can be adjusted by moving the slide regulator to the desired position between Open and Closed. (Fig. 3) Open gives you less suction, closed maximum suction. For example, less suction is required on upholstery and draperies compared to thick carpets, which require maximum suction.

Warning: Before closing main unit, make certain that paper bag is well inside

the compartment and does not get caught between the hinges when closing the cover.

Full Dust Bag Indicator

The vacuum cleaner has a built-in pressure safety valve. As soon as the dust bag is full or the suction hose is blocked, the dust bag full light will come on. If the suction power is noticeably diminished, first check if the suction hose is blocked. Then check if dust bag is full. If this is the case, change it. We recommend that the dust bag be changed when it is 2/3 full so that full suction can be maintained.

Changing the Pre-Motor Filter

The pre-motor filter is located inside the storage compartment behind the dust bag. (Fig. 6)

•The pre-motor filter should be cleaned at least twice a year or when it becomes visibly soiled.

•Always operate the cleaner with the filter installed.

•Disconnect from electrical outlet before cleaning the filter.

•Do not use a washing machine to rinse the filter.

•Do not use a hair dryer to dry it.

•Always allow 24 hours to air dry.

1.Press the storage compartment release button and open the cover.

2.Remove the paper bag from the unit.

3.Pull the pre-motor filter assembly out of the unit.

4.Remove the pre-motor filter from the filter grill.

5.Rinse the pre-motor filter in lukewarm water and let the pre-motor filter air dry for 24 hours until it is completely dry. (Fig. 7)

6.Replace the pre-motor filter into the filter grill and replace back into the unit.
