Since removal of the punch bar may cause performance problems, do not warp or remove it.

Attach the bottom plate properly before using. Without this bottom plate, it may not function.

Since this vacuum nozzle has been made exclusively for cleaning beds, blankets, and upholstery, use it only for these cleaning purposes. (Using it to clean the floor may result in soiling it or a drop in performance; do not use it for such purposes.)
