You'll love the way it cleans, and it's easy to use. The following are a few simple suggestions regarding its operation: 1. When the disposable filter dust bag is full, REPLACE IT. When inserting a new disposable paper filter dust bag-FIRST PUFF OUT and OPEN THE BAG. 2. Inspect and clean the filter at the vacuum motor inlet weekly. 3. If at any time the vacuum cleaner does not pick up properly or makes an unusual noise, STOP OPERATION and service. 4. Although your upright will pick up pins, paper clips, and other small objects, it is recommended that these be removed from the floor before you vacuum. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the motor suction fan and its housing. 5. WARNING: Do not use your vacuum cleaner on damp or wet surfaces. This will cause damage to the vacuum cleaner and is dangerous to the user. Damage caused by use on wet or damp surfaces is not covered under warranty. 6. Change the disposable filter dust bag at least once a month- even if it is not full! The collected dust in the dust bag can cause odor, attract moisture, and can affect the efficiency of the cleaner. 7. Inspect brush for wear once a month. If brush strips no longer touch the carpet, replace brush. 8. DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. The revolving brush could damage the cord. 5
