Unplugging the vacuum while the controls are ON may cause sparking and fire. Turn OFF all controls before unplugging. Do not leave appliance unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing. Ultraviolet Light We learned that ultraviolet light (UV-C) had been used for decades to create some of the world's healthiest environments, and that it had also been used to disinfect hospitals and sterilize drinking water. This product emits germicidal ultraviolet light. Exposure to or touching the ultraviolet light during operation may result in burns and skin or vision damage. Follow these safety guidelines when using the ultraviolet light: • Never stare directly at the ultraviolet light • While the vacuum is in operation never pick up or turn over the vacuum • Never touch the bottom of the vacuum or protective lens. Allow the UV-C light and protective lens to cool down before touching the bottom of the vacuum or storing the vacuum. Safety features have been designed into the vacuum to prevent personal injury. These include: • The vacuum must be in the standard operating position, not the upright position to activate the UV-C light. • The UV-C light will disengage if the product is tilted, raising the wheel off the carpet. • The UV-C light will not engage when attachments are in use. The attachment door must be closed for the UV-C light to operate. Any attempt to turn the ultraviolet light ON by defeating the UV-C light switch or other safety features may result in personal injury and is considered an unauthorized use of the appliance. If necessary, call customer service or take the vacuum into an authorized Oreck service center. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
