IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.

prevent liquid from being drawn
into electric parts.

are in place after routine maintenance.
30. If provided, secure the power cord
around the two cord hooks during
storage.
