USING YOUR UPRIGHT VACUUM. 
Always connect to a polarized outlet (left slot is 
wider than right). Unplug from outlet when not 
in use and before conducting maintenance.

risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
■   
 Do not
 
modify the polarized plug to fit a 
non-polarized outlet or extension cord.

when it is plugged in.

THIS APPLIANCE HAS A 
POLARIZED PLUG.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this 
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade 
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in 
a polarized 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 a proper outlet. Do not 
change the plug in any way.
This model is for household use only.
