Operating Recommendations
1. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag–FIRST
PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG.
2. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT.
3. If at any time the unit does not pick up properly or makes an
unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service.
4. Although your vacuum will pick up pins, paper clips, and other
small objects, it is recommended that these be removed from the
floor before you vacuum. Failure to do so may result in permanent
damage to the unit.
5. WARNING: Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet
surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is
dangerous to the user. Damage caused by use on wet or damp
surfaces is not covered under warranty.
6. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month–even
if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust bag can cause odor,
attract moisture, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner.
7. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord.
8. Use caution when vacuuming over area rug edges & fringe.
