⚠️ 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.

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.
