When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1. Do not leave appliance unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing or changing filters.
2. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Strict supervision is required when operated near children.
3. Use only as described in this manual. Use only attachments and filters recommended by Goodway.
4. 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 factory for service.
5. 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.
6. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
7. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
8. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked. Keep openings free of dust,
lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
9. Keep objects, hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
10. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
11. Do not use without dustbag and/or filters in place while vacuuming.
12. Turn off all controls before unplugging the power cord.
13. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
14. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible fluids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may
be present.
15. To avoid electric shock, do not use on wet surface or expose to rain. Store indoors in a cool, dry area.
16. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit into an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in 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.
17. Connect to a proper grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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-grounded conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
