• Verify that the mains voltage is the same as that indicated on the type plate on the appliance before use.
• Make sure the socket into which you plug the appliance is earthed.
• Always remove the plug from the socket when the appliance is not in use.
• Always remove the plug from the wall socket by pulling on the plug, not the power cord.
• Check the appliance’s power cord regularly to make sure it is not damaged. Do not use the appliance if
the power cord is damaged. Have a damaged power cord replaced by a qualified service department.
• Certain parts of the appliance can become hot. Do not touch them, as you may burn yourself.
• The appliance needs space to allow heat to escape, thereby preventing the risk of fire. Make sure that
the appliance has sufficient space around it, and does not come in contact with flammable material. The
appliance must not be covered.
• Make sure that the appliance and the power cord do not come in contact with sources of heat, such as a
hot hob or naked flame.
• Make sure that the appliance, the power cord and plug do not come in contact with water.
sAfety instructions - use
• Never immerse the appliance, the plug or the power cord in water or other liquid.
• Never leave the appliance unsupervised whilst it is switched on.
• When using your steam cleaner never direct it towards yourself, other people, animals, or plants. The hot
steam can cause burns.
• Do not use the appliance uninterruptedly for too long a period. This increases the risk of an accident.
• When using the steam cleaner never direct it at wall sockets, electric wiring, or appliances containing
electric components, such as the interior of an oven.
• Always allow accessories to cool down before changing tools.
• Never hold your hand in front of the steam nozzle.
• Only use the steam cleaner in upright position.
• Never stand the steam cleaner directly next to a heater or oven.
• Never stand or sit on the steam cleaner.
• Never direct the steam at one point for too long.
• Do not use the appliance to clean materials that are not suitable for steam cleaning, such as leather,
synthetics, upholstery, or waxed floors. When in doubt test the steam cleaner on a small section of
material that is not readily seen.
• Always use clean drinking water to fill the appliance. Do not use additives, such as cleaning agents or
deodorants. This could damage the appliance.
• Never use the appliance without water. Top up the water reservoir in good time. The appliance will also
heat up without water in the reservoir. This could damage the appliance.
• After you have used the appliance it will continue to emit steam for about 10 seconds. This is normal,
since the tube still contains some steam (water) that will now escape.
• Make sure you do not become caught up in the power cord.
• Make sure that your hands are dry before touching the appliance, power cord or plug.
• Never use the appliance in a humid room.
• Do not pick up the appliance if it falls into water. Remove the plug from the wall socket immediately. Do
not use the appliance any more.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly after use (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
• Once you have finished cleaning, empty any water remaining in the reservoir.
