Using the Telescopic Cleaning Wand and Hose
The Cleaning Wand is stored inside the Hose.
1. The Cleaning Wand comes assembled inside into the Hose. (See Figure 2a.)
2. Press the Wand Release Button. Slide the Telescopic Cleaning Wand out of the Hose Collar by
gripping the Collar in one hand and the Cleaning Wand Handle in the other. Pull to extend, then
grasp the end of the Wand to extend the Wand to its full length. The Wand should slide out easily.
Once the Wand is at the desired length, lock the Wand into place by turning the Handle w/ Locking
Ring clockwise. (See Figure 10b.)
3. When you are finished using the Telescopic Cleaning Wand, turn the Locking Ring counterclockwise
to unlock. Slide it back into itself and into the Hose. Compress the Hose just like you would an
accordion so all of the retaining rings fit close together.
4. Grasping the Cleaning Wand Handle, guide it up into its storage position. (See Figure 1b.)
5. Push up on the Handle until it snaps and locks into place in the channel at the back of the Vacuum
Cleaner, under the Wand Release Button.

Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
