Grounding Instructions This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
GENERAL INFORMATION Automatic Suction Shut-Off NOTE: Use the vacuum in the upright position. If the cleaner should tip, the automatic suction shut-off turns off the suction. The automatic suction shut-off functions when the tank is full of liquid. As the tank fills, the ball float (inside the cage) rises until it seats itself against bottom of the motor. This shuts off the suction causing the motor sound to become higher in pitch. When this happens, empty the tank.
