IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not block the motor hood ventilation openings and duct on the top of
the power unit. Lack of ventilation airflow will cause the motor to overheat.
• Do not locate the power unit in a high temperature area or where it is
inaccessible, for example, an attic or crawl space.
• Mount the built-in vacuum system power unit no less than 12 inches from
the ceiling or any adjacent wall and at least 28 inches from the floor. If the
unit is not exhausted outside, make sure the adjacent wall is at least 12
inches from the exhaust port. DO NOT exhaust into a concealed area.
• Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Remove hose from inlet
valve and unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• 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. Use only manufacturer's
recommended attachments.
* • Some hoses contain electrical wires. Do not use if damaged, cut or
punctured. Avoid picking up sharp objects.
* • Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnecting either
hose or motorized nozzle.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working
as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into
water, return it to a service center.
• 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.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (refer to Grounding Instructions).
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
