Unplug deep cleaner when not in use. Turn off all controls before unplugging. Unplug before connecting the powered hand tool. Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the deep cleaner. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Never handle plug or appliance with wet hands. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not use with damaged cord or plug.

Do not point tools toward people or pets. Use only commercially available floor cleaners intended for machine application. Do not use any type of wax with deep cleaner.
