HOW TO USE  
CAUTION: Moving parts. Make sure on/off switch is in  
off position before plugging in.  
Push ON/OFF Switch  
(A thermostat automatically shuts the motor off if it  
overheats, see Automatic Motor Shut-Off)  
ON/OFF Switch  
A carpet should be cleaned regularly over heavily traveled  
areas, and once a week over the entire carpeted area.  
Vacuum slowly, making several passes (forward and  
backward) over the carpet, covering small areas at a  
time. The time required to clean the carpet will depend on  
several factors–including type of carpet and amount of dirt.  
Automatic Motor Shut-Off  
Connect Hose  
To protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is  
equipped with a thermostat which automatically shuts off  
the motor if it overheats. Should this happen:  
1.
Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner
because  
the thermostat will allow the cleaner to automatically  
start running again when the motor cools (approximately  
30 minutes).  
2. Check the hose, bag and filter regularly, as a clogged  
hose, full bag or dirty filter could cause the motor to  
overheat.  
3.
Call a Eureka Service Station
if the cleaner will not  
operate after cooling for approximately 30 minutes.

HOW TO MAINTAIN  
The instructions given in this booklet serve as a guide to  
routine maintenance. To avoid unnecessary service calls,  
check the hose, bag and filter often. Clear a clogged hose  
with the blower, change the bag if it is full, and clean the  
motor filter when it is dirty.  
Telescoping Wand  
To adjust the length of the telescoping wand, hold the wand  
adjustment collar in one hand while pulling or pushing the  
wand with the other hand until you have the desired length.  
Wand Adjustment Collar  
Disposable Dust Bags and Filters  
The dust bag and motor filter play a very important roll in  
the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the  
dust bag is to trap dirt, but at the same time, the paper  
bag must be porous enough to allow air to pass through.  
If the bag or the motor filter become clogged, no air can  
pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place  
regardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner  
operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust bag fre-  
quently and clean the filter as needed. Some fine particles  
can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease perfor-  
mance even before the bag appears to be full. For that  
reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners,  
powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag  
and filter may need to be changed more often.  
Slip the circular end of an accessory tool onto the end of the  
hose handle and twist slightly to secure. If additional reach  
is needed, place a wand on the hose handle first.

® Disposable Dust Bag –  
Style MM, PN 60296A (optional)  
Our high filtration bag is a two-layer, disposable bag that  
combines our standard paper bag with a nonwoven air  
filter inside. Use a Filteraire dust bag to create a cleaner  
indoor environment because the bag filters better than our  
standard bag. The bags are available (three in a package)  
from your local dealer, or you can call 1-800-282-2886 for  
other locations. Look for the Genuine Eureka Filteraire dust  
bag–Style MM.
