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

that will withstand high heat. Do not  
use on unsealed wood or unglazed  
ceramics. On surfaces that have been  
treated with wax or 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  
from the surface manufacturer.  
10. DO NOT pull or carry by power cord,  
use power cord as handle, close a door  
on the power cord, or pull the power  
cord around sharp edges or corners.
