• 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 ficheet non pas le cordon.

• Ne pas manipuler la fiche ou l’aspirateur les mains mouillées ou faire fonctionnerpieds nus.

• Ne rien insérer dans les ouvertures. Ne pas utiliser l’aspirateur si des ouvertures sontbloquées. 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 descheveux, 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.

• 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.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS3

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade iswider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug doesnot fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualifiedelectrician 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 polariséeque 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 adéquatepar un électricien qualifié. Ne pas modifier la fiche.

GENERAL INFORMATIONThe cleaner is designed to pick up dirt and dust particles. Avoid picking up hard orsharp objects with the cleaner to avoid bag breakage, hose clogging, or possiblemotor damage.

Model & Type ______________________ Serial No. _________________________

Automatic Motor Shut-OffTo protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermostat whichautomatically shuts off the motor if it overheats. Should this happen:

1. Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner because the thermostat will allowthe 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 filtercould cause the motor to overheat.

3. Call a Eureka Service Station if the cleaner will not operate after cooling forapproximately 30 minutes.

HOW TO USECAUTION: 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 weekover the entire carpeted area. Vacuum slowly, making several passes (forward andbackward) over the carpet, covering small areas at a time. The time required to cleanthe carpet will depend on several factors–including type of carpet and amount of dirt.

HOW TO MAINTAINThe instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to routine maintenance. Toavoid unnecessary service calls, check the hose, bag and filter often. Clear a cloggedhose with the blower, change the bag if it is full, and clean the motor filter when it isdirty.

Disposable Dust Bags and FiltersThe dust bag and motor filter play a very important roll in the efficiency of the vacuumcleaner. The purpose of the dust bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time, the paperbag must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the bag or the motor filterbecome clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take placeregardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximumefficiency, change the dust bag frequently and clean the filter as needed. Some fineparticles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even beforethe bag appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners orcleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag and filter may needto be changed more often.

Disposable Dust Bag (optional)Our high filtration bag is a two-layer, disposable bag that combines our standard paperbag with a nonwoven air filter inside. Use a Filteraire dust bag to create a cleaner indoorenvironment 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 otherlocations. Look for the Genuine Eureka Filteraire dust bag–Style MM.
