CAUTION! Take extra care when cleaning the stairs
to avoid personal injury or damage and to prevent
the vacuum from falling. Always place the cleaner
at the bottom of the stairs. Do not place the vacuum
on the stairs. Use the tube attachment to reach the
furthest stairs. Clean from the bottom to the top of
the stairs.
