WARNING: On collection of proprietary
carpet conditioning powder, it is

preparations contain substances
which while left in the vacuum cleaner

damage. Many air fresheners, household
deodorants, sprays and polishes contain
highly inflammable gas propellants,
because of this it is particularly
important that these products are used
strictly in accordance with the relevant
manufacturers instructions, it is essential
that none of the above products are
sprayed directly into the vacuum cleaner
or any of the filters, hose assembly or
dust chamber.
