* rEad aLL INSTrUCTIONS before using this appliance.
WarNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
Always follow these safety instructions:
1. Do not leave room when hose is plugged in to the inlet. Disconnect power before servicing.
2. Electric shock could occur if used on wet surfaces.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only those attachments that are recommended.
5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
8. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
9. If your system is equipped with an electrical vacuum hose, do not use if damaged. Do not pull hose
around sharp corners, and keep hose away from heated surfaces. Do not run other appliances over
vacuum hose.
10. Do not unplug system by pulling on vacuum hose. To unplug, grasp the cuff, located on the end of the
hose. If you have a standard non-electric hose, pull out with a twisting motion. If your hose is an electric
hose with direct connect plug in, pull straight out.
11. Do not put anything into vacuum inlets or vents. Keep all inlets and vents free of things that might slow
airflow, such as lint, dust and hair. Do not use the vacuum system if something is blocking an opening.
12. If equipped with an air turbine power brush unplug the vacuum hose before attaching power brush. Keep
fingers, hands and toes away from the base of the power brush. Failure to do so could result in injury from
moving parts.
13. Do not use the electric vacuum hose if it is damaged, cut or punctured. Do not pick up sharp objects with
the vacuum nozzle or hose. Hose may contain electrical wires.
14. In the event the power unit should get wet, do not use the vacuum system until it has been properly
serviced and examined by a serviceman or installer.
15. Do not handle electric hose or inlets with wet hands.
16. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from wand, other openings and
moving parts.
17. If so equipped, do not use your central vacuum system without dustbag and/or filters in place.
18. Always disconnect vacuum system before emptying dirt canister, cleaning filters or replacing dustbag.
19. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
20. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where such
liquids may be present.
21. Do not use to pick up dry wall or cement dust. Doing so will void warranty.
22. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
23. When finished put the vacuum hose and attachments away to prevent tripping accidents.
24. For a grounded appliance, connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions.
