Vacuum Warnings

These appliances have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This pug 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 or modify plug in any way.

When using an electrical vacuum cleaner, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
