not use on unsealed wood or unglazed
ceramic floors, on surfaces that have
been treated with wax or on some no
wax floors. The sheen may be removed
by the heat and steam action. It is always
recommended to test an isolated area
of the surface to be cleaned before
proceeding. We also recommend that
you check the use and care instructions
provided by the floor manufacturer.
POLARIZED PLUG
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.
