IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, espe-
cially when children are present, basic
safety precautions should always be taken,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
DANGER —
Any appliance is elec-
trically live even when the switch is off.
To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:
1.
Always unplug appliance immediately
after using.
2. Do not place or store appliance where it
can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
3. Do not place in, or drop into water or
other liquids.
4. If an appliance falls into water, unplug it
immediately.
Do not reach into the water.
WARNING —
To reduce the risk of
burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1.
This appliance should never be left
unattended when plugged in.
2. This appliance should not be used by, on,
or near children or individuals with certain
disabilities. Unsupervised use could result in
fire or personal injury.
3. Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual. Do not
use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
4.
Never operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not work-
ing properly, or if it has been dropped or
damaged, or dropped into water. Do not
attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect
reassembly or repair could cause a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when the appliance is used. Return the
appliance to an authorized service center
for examination and repair.
5. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not allow cord to contact heated sur-
faces. Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance
cool completely before putting away.
6. 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
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
7. Never drop or insert any object into any
opening or hose.
8. Do not use outdoors or operate where
aerosol (spray) products are being used or
where oxygen is being administered.
9. Do not use an extension cord to operate
appliance.
10. Surfaces of this appliance may be hot
when in use. Do not let heated surfaces
touch eyes or skin.
11. Do not place the steam nozzle directly on
any surface or on the appliance power cord
while it is hot or plugged in. Use the stand
provided.
12. Unplug this appliance before filling or
emptying. Do not overfill.
13. While emitting steam, this appliance may
cause burns if it is used too close to the skin,
scalp or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To
reduce the risk of contact with hot water
discharging from steam vents, test appliance
before each use by holding it away from body.
14. Do not operate steamer without properly
filling the water container.
15. Always keep the hose and nozzle
elevated above the water container.
16. Never yank cord to disconnect from out-
let. Instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
17. Burns could occur from touching hot
metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care
when removing water tank or when you turn
a steam appliance upside down – there may
be hot water in reservoir.
18. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload,
do not operate another high-wattage appli-
ance on the same circuit.
19. 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 it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.
20. Always remove the reservoir from the
appliance before filling it with water.
21. When changing attachments, please
be sure the unit is off and no steam is being
released in order to avoid contact with hot
water.
22. Use caution when changing attachments,
as they may contain hot water from conden-
sation. Ensure the attachments are dry or
cooled off, to avoid contact with hot water.
