Check the voltage rating of the

power cord to an electrical outlet. Your
power source should correspond with
the voltage rating plate located on the
underside of the vacuum cleaner. Use
only household AC outlets. Never use

not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not alter the
plug in any way.

A damaged vacuum cleaner can be
dangerous. Check the packaging, the
vacuum cleaner and accessories for
any signs of damage. Do not use a
damaged appliance.

plug. If the appliance is not working as
it should, has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors or submerged in water,
bring it to a service center.
