WARNING!

Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons

or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety precautions including the

following:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use your vacuum cleaner only as

described in this Use & Care Guide. Use

only with manufacturer’s recommended

attachments.

• Disconnect electrical supply before

servicing or cleaning out the brushroll

area. Failure to do so could result in the

brushroll unexpectedly starting, causing

personal injury from moving parts.

• Do not leave vacuum cleaner when

plugged in. Unplug from outlet when

not in use and before performing

maintenance.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock - Do

not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close

attention is necessary when used by or

near children.

• Do not use with a damaged cord or plug.

If vacuum cleaner is not working as it

should, has been dropped, damaged,

left outdoors, or dropped in water,

immediately discontinue use and call

1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081

(CA) for assistance.

• 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 vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep

cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To

unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner

with wet hands.

• Do not put any objects into openings.

• Do not use with any opening blocked;

Read all instructions in this guide before assembling or using your vacuum cleaner.

keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything

that may reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all

parts of body away from openings and

moving parts.

• Turn off all controls before unplugging.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Do not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on

floor.

• Do not use vacuum cleaner to pick

up flammable or combustible liquids

(gasoline, cleaning fluid, perfumes,

etc.), or use in areas where they may be

present. The fumes from these substances

can create a fire hazard or explosion.

smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or

hot ashes.

• Do not use vacuum cleaner without dust

cup and/or filters in place.

• Always clean the dust cup after

vacuuming carpet cleaners or freshener,

powders, and fine dust. These products

clog the filters, reduce airflow and can

cause damage to the vacuum cleaner.

Failure to clean the dust cup could cause

permanent damage to the vacuum

cleaner.

• Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick

up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins,

paper clips, etc. They may damage the

BRUSHROLL RESET

The brushroll has built-in protection against

motor damage should the brushroll jam.

If the brushroll slows down or stops, the

brushroll overload protector shuts off the

brushroll motor and the brushroll indicator

light emits a red light. The vacuum cleaner

suction motor will continue to run.

SUCTION CONTROL

To assist with push/pull force of the

vacuum on surfaces like thick carpet, the

suction control valve can be opened to

help reduce suction. Note that for best

cleaning results, the suction control valve

must be fully closed.

· Slide to "Min" to open the suction control

and decrease suction. Opening control

decreases suction for draperies and

lightweight rugs.

· Slide to "Max" to close the suction control

and increase suction. Closing control

increases suction for upholstery and

carpets.

PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES

THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal

protector which automatically trips to

protect the vacuum cleaner suction motor.

If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to

the motor, the thermal protector turns the

motor off automatically. This allows the

motor to cool in order to prevent possible

damage to the vacuum cleaner.

To reset thermal protector: Turn the

vacuum cleaner off and unplug the power

cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum

cleaner to cool and the thermal protectors

to reset.

CAUTION

Always return the vacuum cleaner to

the upright position before using the

hose and attachments. Failure to do

so may result in overheating of the

brushroll motor and can cause the

thermal protectors to trip.

Check for and remove clogs, and empty

the dust cup if necessary. Also check

and clean any clogged filters. Wait

approximately 50 minutes before restarting

vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug

vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then

turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The

brushroll indicator light will be off.

NOTE: Once the brushroll motor shuts

down, clear jam from brushroll and then

restart the vacuum cleaner. If the problem

persists, contact the vacuum cleaner help

line for assistance.
