aerosol (spray) products are being used or
where oxygen is being administered.
7. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do
not operate another high-wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
8. Do not use extension cord to operate
appliance. While it is not recommended, if
an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a
15 ampere rated cord should be used. Cords
rated for less amperage may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that
the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
9. Use caution when changing attachments
as they may contain hot water from
condensation. T-nozzle should never be
placed on the unit when in use or when pre-
heating. Ensure the attachments are dry or

cap has been secured with the unit.
CAUTION —
1. This appliance should never be left
unattended when plugged in.
2. This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet

not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
3. Never drop or insert any object into any
opening or hose.

any surface or on the appliance power
cord while it is hot or plugged in. Use the
door hook provided.
