READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS \fEFORE USING YOUR DEEP CLEANER.   
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following: 
This model is for household use only.  Commercial use of this unit voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS   
FOR FUTURE USE
WARNING
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 INSTRUCTIONSThis 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.
