burn and eye inflammation from short wave ultraviolet radiation. Radiation from these lamps is harmful to the eyes and skin.  
• Application of UV-C light to existing mold growth can cause respiratory irritation and allergic symptoms. Do not use UV-C light where active mold  
growth exists. Remove active mold growth from surface prior to exposure. Ultraviolet (UV-C) Radiation Hazard.

Based on exposure of UV-C light to bed bug eggs, viruses and bacteria in the laboratory under controlled conditions. May be less effective when used on pile carpets and certain fabric surfaces. UV-C  
effectiveness depends on direct exposure duration and intensity and must shine on organism to be effective. In the event of bed bug infestation, a qualified pest exterminator should be contacted.  
Based on exposure of UV-C light to test organisms in laboratory on non-porous hard surface, under controlled conditions. MRSA refers to Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (ATCC 33592). H1N1  
refers to A/Swine/Iowa Swine Influenza A (ATCC 333)

Brush Mode  
Select Brush Mode for conventional vacuuming with a Powered Brush Roll and Powerful Suction. Use this setting when you wish  
to operate the Powered Brush Roll without the Sanitizing Light. The Mode Indicator will illuminate as RED.  
Sanitizer/Deodorizer Mode  
Select the Sanitizer/Deodorizer Mode when you want to engage the Sanitizing Light and Powerful Suction. The Sanitizing Light  
Bulb will turn on when the Floor Sensors detect a surface. When the Sanitizing Light Bulb is on, the Mode Indicator will illuminate  
as BLUE. Selecting this mode disengages the Powered Brush Roll. The Sanitizing Light Bulb will turn off when the Floor Sensors  
do not detect a surface, such as when the Sanitizing Power Head is lifted off the floor. When this occurs, the Mode Indicator will  
not be illuminated (turns off).  
Both Mode (Brush and Sanitizer/Deodorizer Modes Simultaneously)  
Select the Both Mode when you want to engage the Sanitizing Light as well as the Powered Brush Roll and Powerful Suction.  
When the Sanitizing Light Bulb is on, the Mode Indicator will illuminate as PURPLE. The Sanitizing Light Bulb will turn off when the  
Floor Sensors do not detect a surface. When this occurs, the Mode Indicator will not be illuminated (turns off).  
Surface Protection  
When the Sanitizing Power Head is held or left stationary on a surface (i.e., not moving) for more than five seconds, the Sanitizing  
Light Bulb will automatically turn off. When this occurs, the Mode Indicator will blink slowly (blink BLUE if in Sanitizer/Deodorizer  
Mode; blink PURPLE if in Both Mode). Once movement is re-initiated, the Sanitizing Light Bulb will turn back on and the Mode  
Indicator blinking will stop. This happens automatically and is one of the features designed to protect your surfaces.
