READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
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 if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug 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.

If you are experiencing a loss of suction, or you notice debris is spitting out of the nozzle, we recommend checking the nozzle, tube, hose and filters for any visible signs of blockage or built up debris. It is also recommended to rinse your Filter if there is visible built up dirt and dust on the filter. This should help improve performance on your vacuum.
Vacuum is equipped with an automatic brushroll shutoff in the event of overload or jam. Check for obstructions in the brush roll area and remove any obstructions. When obstructions are cleared, resume cleaning as normal.
A thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running.
