Power Cord - 2-Wire Polarized

To reduce the risk of electric shock this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current

line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet

only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the

obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Full Bin Indicator

If the full bin indicator changes color:

• Empty the full bin

• Check the hose for a blockage and remove it

• The indicator may change color when vacuuming with at tool (dusting brush, upholstery or crevice tool). In this case, continue vacuuming.
