READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

•Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug

the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.

•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or

near children.

•Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended

attachments.

•Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it

should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it

to a service center before using.

•Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull

cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep

cord away from heated surfaces.

•Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.

•Turn off all controls before unplugging.

•Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

•Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands or operate without shoes.

•Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep

free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.

•This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all

parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,

or hot ashes.

•Do not use without dust bag or filter(s) in place.

•Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS3

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.

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

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.

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

environmentbecause thebagfilters betterthan ourstandardbag.The bagsare 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.
