Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided with appliance.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is grounded. If not, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-	Grounding Pin
volt circuit. It has a grounding plug similar

to the example shown. Make sure the appliance is connected to an outlet with the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this

appliance. Grounded Outlet

Motor Protection System

Fan blockage may cause the fan motor to shut off to avoid over-heating. If this happens, turn power off and unplug the vacuum cleaner. Remove top cover and brush roll cover (See: To Adjust or Replace Brush).

Remove any blockage inside fan housing. Reassemble and discontinue use for approximately 30 min. The motor will have cooled and the cleaner will be ready to use.

Note: The vacuum cleaner must remain unplugged for 30 minutes for motor to cool and system to reset.
