Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy or to run unattended at any time.

Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as ciga- rettes, matches, or hot ashes.

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the cleaner.

Unplug cleaner when not in use. Turn off all controls before unplug- ging.
