SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
APPLIANCE.
IMPORTANT:The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for
damage caused when the appliance is not used according to the instructions, or for
uses other than those for which it was intended.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, damage or injury:
• Do not leave appliance when plugged
in. Unplug from outlet when not in use
and before servicing.
• WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD
OCCUR IF USED OUTDOORS OR ON
WET SURFACES.
• 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.
• 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 the distributor where purchased
for service.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord
as a handle, close a door on the cord,
or pull cord around sharp edges or
corners. Do not run appliance 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 appliance with
wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings.
Do not use with any opening blocked;
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.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches
or hot ashes.
• Do not use without vacuum bag in place.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids such as gasoline or
use in areas where they may be present.
• Do not attempt to service the unit while
appliance is plugged in.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet
only. See Grounding Instructions.
• Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition and is the correct
size for your appliance, i.e. 16 AWG.
If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
• Use only three-wire outdoor extension
cords that have three-prong grounding
plugs and grounding receptacles that
accept the appliance’s plug.
• Warning - To reduce the risk of
personal injury due to a loose electrical
connection between the appliance’s
plug and extension cord, firmly and
fully attach the appliance plug to the
extension cord. Periodically check the
connection while operating to ensure
it is fully attached. Do not use an
extension cord that provides a loose
connection. A loose connection may
result in overheating, fire, and increases
the risk of a burning.
• To reduce the risk of disconnection of
the appliance cord from the extension
cord during operating, secure the
extension cord to the appliance plug as
shown or described in the Operating
Instructions

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This vacuum cleaner must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a ground plug
(see illustration). Make sure that the vacuum is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this vacuum.

OPERATION
Fig. 1
Reclining the Handle
• Press the handle release pedal located
on the back of the vacuum with your
foot to recline the handle (Fig. 1).
On/Off Switch, Two Speed
• The power switch located on the
vacuum handle, is a three-way switch
(Fig. 2). The middle position is the “Off”
setting, the rear position is the “On”
setting and the forward position is for
“Maximum Power” (Fig. 3).
• Use the “Maximum Power” setting for
carpet cleaning. Use the “On” setting
for cleaning bare floors and throw rugs.
Always turn the vacuum cleaner to the
“Off” setting before unplugging it from
the electrical outlet.
Edge Cleaning
The edge cleaning feature provides
improved cleaning near walls and
stationary furniture. For maximum edge
cleaning, place the left side of the nozzle,

wall or stationary furniture.
Automatic Carpet Height
Adjustment
Your vacuum is designed with an
automatic self-adjusting nozzle. No
manual adjustments are required. The
height of the nozzle automatically
adjusts to the flooring surface. This self-
adjusting feature allows the nozzle to
float evenly over all flooring surfaces.
Bare Floor Cleaning
Your vacuum is equipped with a squeegee
on the bottom of the vacuum to improve its
effectiveness in cleaning bare floors (Fig. 4).
When cleaning tile, hardwood, vinyl, etc.,
use the “On” setting for best results.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Brushroll Jam Indicator
If an object, such as a throw rug or
article of clothing, is ever picked up into
your vacuum, the vacuum will sense this
“jammed brushroll” condition and turn
off the brushroll. When this happens, the
Brushroll Jam Indicator light on the top
of the nozzle will flash in red.
• Turn off the vacuum and remove the
cause of the jam. Turn the vacuum
back on.
• If the brushroll is free of obstructions
and the Brushroll Jam Indicator light
is still flashing, it’s likely the clogged
condition is located in the vacuum
motor fan.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Resetting the Circuit Breaker
WARNING! To reduce the risk of
electrical shock or injury from moving
parts, unplug before servicing or cleaning.
Your vacuum features a circuit breaker
to protect the machine against damage
due to a surge in the electrical current.
Electrical surging can be a result
of, though not limited to, a jammed
motor fan.
Should your vacuum cleaner experience a
jammed brushroll with the circuit breaker
tripping, turn the vacuum off, and unplug
the unit. Inspect the brushroll by removing
the bottom plate (see page 11) and
remove any debris that may be causing
the jam. Reinstall the bottom plate (see
page 11) and reset the circuit breaker
by pressing the Circuit Breaker Reset
Button. Plug in the power cord, and turn
on the vacuum.
Replacing the Squeegee
If your squeegee splits or begins to look
worn, simply slide the worn squeegee
from its track and slide a new one into
the track.
