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.

Attaching the Handle to the Vacuum

NOTE: Do not plug in the vacuum until it is

completely assembled.

The vacuum cleaner and the handle are

packed separately and require assembly.

• Thread the cord through the lower and upper

cord guides on the back of the vacuum

bag (Fig. 1).

• Remove the handle bracket by removing the

two screws (Fig. 2).

• Place handle onto the back of the vacuum,

aligning holes with pegs (Fig. 3).

• Place the handle bracket back into position (Fig. 4).

• Secure with two screws removed in Step 2.

• Open the bag compartment to ensure a

around the top and bottom cord hooks. Fasten

the plug to the wrapped cord using the channel

on the plug.

Unwinding the Power Cord

• The lower cord hook rotates to allow for

quick access to the power cord. Turn the

lower cord hook upward and you can quickly

drop the power cord to the floor without

unwinding it from the cord hooks.

• When storing the vacuum cleaner, turn the lower

cord hook to the downward position and wind the

power cord around the cord storage hooks.

Reclining the Handle

• Press the handle release pedal located on the back

of the vacuum with your foot to recline the handle

(Fig. 1).

On/Off Switch

• The power switch located on the vacuum handle, is a

three-way switch (Fig. 2). The middle position is the

“Off” setting, the rear position is the “On” setting and

the forward position is for “Maximum Power” (Fig. 3).

• Use the “Maximum Power” setting for carpet cleaning.

Use the “On” setting for cleaning bare floors and throw

rugs. Always turn the vacuum cleaner to the “Off”

setting before unplugging it from the electrical outlet.

Edge Cleaning

The edge cleaning feature provides improved cleaning

near walls and stationary furniture. For maximum edge

cleaning, place the left side of the nozzle, from the user’s

perspective, against the wall or stationary furniture.

Automatic Carpet Height Adjustment

Your vacuum is designed with an automatic self-

adjusting nozzle. No manual adjustments are required.

The height of the nozzle automatically adjusts to the

flooring surface. This self-adjusting feature allows the

nozzle to float evenly over all flooring surfaces.

Bare Floor Cleaning

Your vacuum is equipped with a squeegee on the bottom

of the vacuum to improve its effectiveness in cleaning

bare floors (Fig. 4). When cleaning tile, hardwood, vinyl,

etc., use the “On” setting for best results.

Power Cord Care

• If the cord or plug has any apparent damage,

refrain from using the vacuum. Please visit an

Authorized Simplicity Retailer for a new cord

or plug.

• When the vacuum is in use, hold the cord to

keep from running over it.

• Avoid obstructions and do not pull the cord

around sharp edges or corners.

• Always keep the cord away from heated

surfaces and never close doors on it as this

may cause damage to the wiring.

• To unplug, always grasp the plug, not the cord.

Vacuuming Under Furniture

Your vacuum will lay flat on the floor for effective

cleaning under beds and tables.

• Press the handle release pedal once for normal

vacuum cleaning (Fig. 1).

• Continue to lower the handle to enable the

vacuum to lay flat on the floor (Fig. 2).
