WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing.

• IMPORTANT: Make sure filter bag is in place. Do not operate cleaner without filter bag. Damage to motor may occur.
• Be sure bag gasket is in place. If the white bag gasket is damaged or lost, replace at once.
• For best results, change disposable filter bag regularly even if it is not completely full. An extremely dirty bag or a bag close to full will affect the suction of the cleaner and can create excessive motor heat that could damage the motor. A good practice is to change filter bag every 30 days even if it is not full.
• Do not pick up moist material or liquids.
• Clean your vacuum cleaner with a damp (not wet) cloth in the disposable bag cavity and the outside of canister unit.
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE the dirt retaining flap attached on the back of the front plate. It must be left in place for the unit to operate properly and to ensure cleaning effectiveness.
• MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM: If fine materials such as soot, cement, plaster dust, copy machine powder, etc. are picked up, the bag surface may seal and cause the motor to shut off to avoid overheating. If this happens, turn the switch off and unplug the cleaner. Replace filter bag. Check and clear any clogs in hose or accessories. After approximately 30 minutes the motor will have cooled and the cleaner will be ready to use.

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

Polarized Plug Notice

This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the polarized plug.
