SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: 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 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. Your cleaner contains a Thermal Protector which will automatically shut off the motor at abnormally high motor temperatures. If the Thermal Protector is activated - turn main switch off and unplug the cleaner. Inspect the exhaust, inlet, hose, dirt container and secondary filter for any blockage. After approximately 30 minutes the motor will have cooled and the vacuum will be ready to use. NOTE: The cleaner must remain unplugged during the 30 minute cooling period. 3
