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.
