IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper Use
Never use the vacuum cleaner without the dustbag or filters in place. Otherwise it could be damaged.
If a dustbag is not inserted, the dust compartment lid will not close. Do not force it shut.
Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes. The vacuum cleaner could catch fire.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up liquids or damp dirt. This could impair the electrical safety of the vacuum cleaner. Wait for freshly shampooed carpets to dry.
Do not vacuum toner dust. Toner, such as that used in printers and photocopiers can conduct electricity.
This vacuum should not be used to entrap or retain any hazardous materials.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present. The vacuum cleaner could explode.
Turn the vacuum cleaner off after each use and before every cleaning / maintenance. Pull the plug from the outlet.
Unwind the cord completely to aid the vacuum in dissipating heat.
Do not vacuum items which are heavy, hard or have sharp edges. They could cause a blockage and damage the appliance.
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 appliance over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle the plug or vacuum with wet hands.
Keep the power cord, hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.
Do not place anything into the
openings of the vacuum cleaner. Do not use if any openings are blocked; keep them free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may reduce air flow.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord reel. Hold the plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow the plug to whip when rewinding.
