IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

- Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

- Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.

- Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

- Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.

- Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, call the Eureka Customer Service HELPLINE at 1-888-365-2230.

- Do not pull or carry by the cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

- Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.

- Turn off all controls before unplugging.

- Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

- Do not handle the vacuum cleaner with wet hands or operate without shoes.

- Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce airflow.

- This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

- Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

- Do not use without dust bag or filter(s) in place.

- Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

- Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use on areas where they may be present.

- Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.

- Keep your work area well lit.

- Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.

- Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the drive belt.

- Turn off the power switch and unplug cleaner before rotating the nozzle.

- Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.

- Unplug before connecting accessories, such as pet tool, crevice tool, etc.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider then the other).

This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fully fit into the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do NOT change the plug in any way.

Thermal Cut Off

This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner suddenly shuts off, push the on/off switch off (0) and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full dust bag, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and push the on/off switch on (1).

Do Not Oil the motor or the brushroll at any time. The bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed.

The Eureka three-year limited warranty

Midea America Corp. (“Eureka”), subject to the terms and conditions herein, warrants this vacuum cleaner to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a term of three years from the date of original purchase when used in accordance with the Eureka operating and maintenance instructions and under normal household usage. This warranty is granted only to the original purchaser and members of immediate household, and is applicable only to original purchases from Eureka authorized resellers.

What Eureka will do:

Eureka will, at its option, repair or replace a defective vacuum or vacuum part that is covered by this warranty. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed Eureka specifications for new parts. If Eureka elects to replace the vacuum, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. Depending on availability of products, Eureka reserves the right to provide you with a replacement product that is the same or similar, or substitute equivalent of the original product. As a matter of warranty policy, Eureka will not refund the consumer's purchase price.

This warranty does not cover:

- Normal wear and tear of the vacuum and vacuum parts that require replacement under normal use such as disposable dust bags, filters, drive belts, light bulbs, brush-roll, bristles, impellers and cleaning.

- Damages or malfunctions resulting from: improper or unreasonable use or maintenance, abuse, negligence, failure to follow instructions contained in any written materials that accompany the product, deterioration by reason of excess moisture, corrosive atmosphere, lightning, power surges, connections to improper voltage supply, unauthorized alteration, or other external causes such as extremes in temperature or humidity, modifications, scratches or discoloration, accidents, misuse, or acts of God. This warranty also does not cover damage resulting from repair or attempted repair by anyone other than Eureka. This warranty is not applicable to any product that has been altered or on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed. Altering, erasing, or forging any proof-of-purchase documents voids any applicable product warranty.

Obtaining warranty service:

To obtain warranty service you must contact the Eureka Service Team, toll free, at 1-888-365-2230 or email [e-mail],

the warranty claim and procedures to be followed. All warranty claims must include submission of proof-of-purchase documentation. For additional information, you may also visit http://www.eureka.com/ca

Shipping charges:

You will be responsible for any initial shipping and insurance charges if the defective product(s) must be shipped for warranty service or warranty evaluation; however, Eureka will pay the return shipping charges if repairs are covered by the warranty. When returning parts for repair, you must include the model, type and serial number. If any product submitted for warranty service is found to be ineligible, an estimate of repair cost will be furnished and the repair performed only if requested by the owner and upon receipt of payment or acceptable arrangements for payment.

Further limitations and exclusions:

Any warranty that may be implied in connection with your purchase or use of the vacuum, including any warranty of Merchantability or any warranty of Fitness For A Particular Purpose is limited to the duration of this limited warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Your relief for the breach of this warranty is limited to the relief expressly provided above. In no event shall the manufacturer be liable for any consequential or incidental damages you may incur in connection with your purchase or use of the vacuum. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights, which may vary by state.
