GroundinG instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A). The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WArning: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plu provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and

has a grounding plug that looks like the plug (A) illustrated in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is not available (Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1). The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2). Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

4. MAINTENANCE

Familiarize yourself with these maintenance tasks as proper use and care of your vacuum will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.

Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.

If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a sevice center prior to continuing use.

A Thermal Protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running.

If this happens proceed as follows:

1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Check fullness of filter bag; change if needed.
3. Inspect the: nozzle, nozzle inlet, filter bag inlet. Clear obstructions if present.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate and cleaning may continue.

If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner needs servicing.

FILTER BAG: How to Replace

To reduce the risk of personal injury - Unplug before cleaning or servicing.

Do not use vacuum without bag in place.

Very fine materials, such as face powder or cornstarch, may seal the filter bag and may cause it to burst even though it is partially full of dirt. When the cleaner is used to remove material of this nature, change filter bag often.

REMOVE OLD BAG

4.1 Unzip the soft outer bag.
4.2 Insert hand into the top of the cloth bag and grasp top of paper bag collar. Pull collar away from the dirt tube. Dispose of old paper bag.
