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.
• 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.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into 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 façon. 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.

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.
