Warning IconWARNING: Risk Of Injury. Brush May Start Unexpectedly. Unplug Before Cleaning or Servicing.
Warning IconWARNING: To Reduce The Risk Of Injury From Moving Parts – Unplug Before Servicing.

NOTE: STORE CLEANER IN A PROTECTED, DRY AREA. SINCE THIS PRODUCT USES WATER, IT MUST NOT BE STORED WHERE THERE IS A DANGER OF FREEZING. FREEZING WILL DAMAGE INTERNAL COMPONENTS AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

Warning IconWARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug in the illustration. Make certain that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as  the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
