CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ  
Lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil électrique, quelques précautions élémentaires doivent  
être observées, incluant les suivantes:  
LISEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D’UTILISER VOTRE ASPIRATEUR.  
AVERTISSEMENT  
Pour réduire le risque de feu, de choc électrique ou de blessure:  
Ne pas utiliser l’aspirateur à l’extérieur ou sur une surface mouillée.  
Cet appareil est muni d’un double-isolement. Utilisez uniquement des piéces de  
rechange identiques. Voir les instructions pour l’entretien d’appareils à double-  
isolement.  
• Ne pas laisser l’aspirateur seul quand il est branché. Mettre l’interrupteur sur  
arrêt et débrancher l’appareil lorsque vous ne l’utilisez pas ou avant l’entretien.  
Ne pas permettre que l’aspirateur soit utilisé comme un jouet. Une attention particu-  
lière est nécessaire lorsqu’il est utilisé par ou près d’un enfant.  
Suivre strictement les recommandations d’utilisation de ce manuel. Utiliser unique-  
ment les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant.  
Ne jamais utiliser l’aspirateur si le cordon ou la fiche sont endommagés. Si l’aspira-  
teur ne fonctionne pas comme il le devrait, s’il a été échappé, s’il est endommagé, s’il  
a été laissé à l’extérieur ou échappé dans de l’eau, le retourner à un centre de service  
avant de l’utiliser.  
Ne pas l’aspirateur ou le transporter par le cordon. Ne pas utiliser le cordon en guise  
de poignée. Ne pas fermer une porte sur le cordon ou tirer le cordon sur des bordures  
ou des coins pointus. Ne pas passer l’aspirateur sur le cordon. Tenir le cordon à  
distance des surfaces chauffantes.  
Ne pas utiliser des cordons de rallonge ou des prises qui n’ont pas une capacité  
suffisante pour transporter le courant.  
Mettre sur arrêt tous les boutons de commande avant de débrancher.  
Ne pas débrancher l’aspirateur en tirant sur le cordon. Pour débrancher saisir la fiche  
et non pas le cordon.  
Ne pas manipuler la fiche ou l’aspirateur les mains mouillées ou faire fonctionner  
pieds nus.  
Ne rien insérer dans les ouvertures. Ne pas utiliser l’aspirateur si des ouvertures sont  
bloquées. Vous assurer qu’elles soient dégagées de poussière, de mousse, de che-  
veux ou de tout autre chose qui pourrait réduire le passage de l’air.  
Cet aspirateur crée de la succion. Tenir les parties mobiles et les ouvertures loin des  
cheveux, du linge, des doigts et de toute partie du corps.  
Ne pas ramasser des objets qui brûlent ou fument comme les cigarettes, les allumet-  
tes ou les cendres chaudes.  
Ne pas utiliser sans que le sac à poussière ou le(s) filtre(s) ne soient en place.  
Porter une attention particulière lorsque vous nettoyez les escaliers.  
Ne pas utiliser pour ramasser des liquides inflammables ou combustibles, comme de  
l’essence. Ne pas utiliser dans les endroits ou ces liquides pourraient être présents.  
Entreposer votre aspirateur à l’intérieur, dans un endroit propre et sec.  
Maintenir un bon éclairage à l’endroit où vous travaillez.  
Débrancher les appareils électriques avant de les passer à l’aspirateur.  
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances  
A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more of the following: The  
wordsDOUBLE INSULATIONorDOUBLE INSULATEDor the double insulation  
symbol (square within a square).  
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead  
of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance,  
nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-  
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and  
should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a  
double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade  
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 the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.  
Afin de réduire le risque de choc électrique, cet appareil est muni d’une fiche polarisée  
(une des lames est plus large). Cette fiche ne peut être insérée dans une prise polarisée  
que d’une seule facon. Si la fiche ne peut être insérée dans la prise, retourner la fiche.  
Si la fiche ne peut toujours pas être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise  
adéquate par un électricien qualifié. Ne pas modifier la fiche.

Automatic Motor Shut-Off  
To protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermostat  
which automatically shuts off the motor if it overheats. Should this happen:  
1. Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner because the thermostat will allow  
the cleaner to automatically start running again when the motor cools  
(approximately 30 minutes).  
2. Check the hose, bag and filter regularly, as a clogged hose, full bag or dirty filter  
could cause the motor to overheat.  
3. Call a Eureka Service Station if the cleaner will not operate after cooling for  
approximately 30 minutes.

HOW TO USE  
CAUTION: Moving parts. Make sure on/off switch is in off position before  
plugging in.  
A carpet should be cleaned regularly over heavily traveled areas, and once a week  
over the entire carpeted area. Vacuum slowly, making several passes (forward and  
backward) over the carpet, covering small areas at a time. The time required to clean  
the carpet will depend on several factors–including type of carpet and amount of dirt.

HOW TO MAINTAIN  
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To  
avoid unnecessary service calls, check the hose, bag and filter often. Clear a clogged  
hose with the blower, change the bag if it is full, and clean the motor filter when it is  
dirty.  
Disposable Dust Bags and Filters  
The dust bag and motor filter play a very important roll in the efficiency of the vacuum  
cleaner. The purpose of the dust bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time, the paper  
bag must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the bag or the motor filter  
become clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place  
regardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum  
efficiency, change the dust bag frequently and clean the filter as needed. Some fine  
particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before  
the bag appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or  
cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag and filter may need  
to be changed more often.  
GENUINE  
Look for the  
symbol.  
EUREKA PRODUCT  
®
Disposable Dust Bag (optional)  
Our high filtration bag is a two-layer, disposable bag that combines our standard paper  
bag with a nonwoven air filter inside. Use a Filteraire dust bag to create a cleaner indoor  
environment because the bag filters better than our standard bag.The bags are available  
(three in a package) from your local dealer, or you can call 1-800-282-2886 for other  
locations. Look for the Genuine Eureka Filteraire dust bag–Style MM.  
How to Remove Disposable Dust Bags–Style MM  
NOTE: Turn off vacuum and unplug the electrical cord before changing dust  
bag or cleaning motor filter. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without  
the dust bag or filter.  
Turn off and unplug cleaner.
