Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in FigureA.Atemporary adapter which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as
shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.

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:

Fermez le commutateur et débranchez l’appareil lorsque vous ne l’utilisez pas ou avant
le nettoyage ou l’entretien.
•
•
•
Ne permettez pas qu’il soit utilisé comme jouet. Une attention particulière est nécessaire
lorsque utilisé par ou près d’un enfant.

INSTRUCTIONS VISANT LA MISE À LA TERRE
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas défaillance ou de panne éventuelles, la
mise à la terre fournit au courant un chemin de moindre résistance qui réduit le
risque de choc électrique. Cet appareil est pourvu d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur
de terre et d’une fiche avec broche de terre. La fiche doit être branchée dans une
prise appropriée correctement installée et mise à la terre conformément aux
règlements et ordonnances municipaux.
AVERTISSEMENT
Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique.
Consulter un électricien ou un technicien d’entretien qualifié si vous n’êtes pas certain
que la prise est correctement mise à la terre. Ne pas modifier la fiche fournie avec
l’appareil-si elle ne peut être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate
par un électricien qualifié.
Note: Au Canada, l’utilisation d’un adaptateur temporaire n’est pas autorisée par le
Code canadien de l’électricité.
Cet appareil est destiné à un circuit de 120 V et est muni d’une fiche de mise à la terre
semblable à celle illustrée par le Figure A. S’assurer que l’appareil est branché à une
prise de courant ayant la même configuration que la fiche. Aucun adaptateur ne devrait
être utilisé avec cet appareil.

HOW TO MAINTAIN
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. To
avoid unnecessary service calls, check the bag, belt, and brush roll often. Change the
bag if it is full; replace the belt if it is stretched or cracked, and clean the brush roll
bristles if they are wrapped with thread and hair.
DUST BAG (Style SL)
The dust bag plays a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. The
bag traps the dirt and allows the air to pass through. If the bag becomes 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. Some fine particles can restrict air flow 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 may need to be changed more often.
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before servicing the
bag. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag.
NOTE: When cleaning new carpet for the first time, bag will fill quickly. Check
often.
1
Remove Front Cover
Grasp the handle at the top of the front cover. Pull out and up to remove from the unit.
2
Remove Used Disposable Dust Bag
To release used bag, push top of bag retainer latch on inside of bag compartment and
pull used bag down and out.

Install New Disposable Dust Bag
Find bag rails on the inside of the bag compartment. Locate and position the bag collar
(notch toward front) on bag rails. Push bag collar allowing it to follow the rails up inside
the bag compartment. Push bag release button, lock bag collar up into bag release.
Release button. The bag is held.

HOW TO MAINTAIN (continued)
NOTE: Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord before servicing the
cleaner. Never operate the vacuum cleaner without the dust bag or filters.

The filters should be checked at each disposable dust bag change. If the filters are
dirty, clean or replace for maximum performance of your cleaner.
1
Motor Filter
The motor filter is located below the dust bag
inside the bag compartment. Remove the
front cover. Take the dust bag out to check
the motor filter. If the motor filter is dirty,
remove and clean or replace with a new filter.
To clean the motor filter, brush the debris off
into a trash bin or vacuum with another
vacuum cleaner.

the base by rotating slightly until brush
roll end cap slides into place.
Secure right end of brush roll into base.

5
Make sure the reset button
cover (circled) is in position on spring.
Replace hood. Hold body and power
nozzle, turn over so bottom of power
nozzle is facing up. Replace screws.
Brush Roll
As the brush roll rotates, it sweeps and combs the carpet nap. Remove hair and threads
from the brush roll so it continues brushing the carpet nap. Check brush roll occasion-
ally for hair or string that may have wrapped around dowel. Remove with scissors.
When bristles have worn to about 1/4" in length, carpet cleaning effectiveness will be
reduced. It is time to replace the brush roll. Follow the instructions in the brush roll belt
section to open up the power nozzle and replace the brush roll.
