⚠️ WARNING: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or property damage, when using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM

1. Inspect power cord and plug for any damage before use. ❌ DO NOT use vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. Turn off all controls before plugging in or unplugging the vacuum cleaner. Store your vacuum cleaner with the power cord secured around the two cord hooks. To minimize the risk of power cord damage, do not allow the motorized brush roll to ingest the cord. If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord.
2. This appliance has a polarized plug; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug (one blade is wider than the other). If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. ❌ DO NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.
3. Your vacuum cleaner may consist of a motorized nozzle, wand, hose, and/or vacuum pod. This device contains electrical connections, electrical wiring, and moving parts that potentially present risk to the user.
4. Use only identical replacement parts.
5. Carefully observe and follow the instructions provided below to avoid improper use of the appliance. ❌ DO NOT use the vacuum for any purpose other than those described in this manual.
6. Before use, carefully inspect all parts for any damage. ❌ DO NOT use if any parts are damaged.
7. The use of an extension cord is ❌ NOT recommended.
8. This vacuum cleaner contains no serviceable parts.
9. This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. ❌ DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children. ❌ DO NOT allow to be used as a toy.

14. ❌ DO NOT damage the power cord: a) ❌ DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use the cord as a handle. b) ❌ DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. Grasp the plug, not the cord. c) ❌ DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the power cord, close a door on the cord, pull the cord around sharp corners, or leave the cord near heated surfaces.
15. ❌ DO NOT put any objects into nozzle or accessory openings. ❌ DO NOT use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
16. ❌ DO NOT use if nozzle or accessory airflow is restricted. If the air paths or the motorized floor nozzle become blocked, turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug from electrical outlet. Remove all obstructions before you plug in and turn on the unit again.
17. Keep nozzle and all vacuum openings away from hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet, or loose clothing.
18. ❌ DO NOT use if vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water.
