allow the appliance to enter and operate on wet surfaces, e.g. in a wet kitchen,
bathroom, locker room, etc.;
allow toddlers or small children to stand on the appliance, especially when it is in
operation. Although this advice may seem ridiculous to adults, however young
children usually view situations differently, and may view riding on a moving
appliance to be particularly appealing;
allow the appliance to vacuum stairs as the appliance may fall and gets damaged,
cause damages to other objects, or cause injuries to people and animals;
insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;
use the appliance for more than 120 minutes without turning it off for at least
30minutes for a total usage of 4 hours in a single day – failure to heed this warning
may result in motor failure;
leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.
