WARNING:
Even when unplugged, the product may release steam. Therefore handle it carefully, and store out of reach of anyone
who does not know how to use it.
PRECAUTIONS:
•
For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, velvet and other pile surfaces, consult the manufacturers
instructions. Clean only by using the product at a safe distance together with a soft cloth and always do a test on a non visible
part of the item first or on a sample. Allow the test area to dry completely before observing results and effects on surface or
colour before proceeding to clean further areas, ensuring that exactly the same distance and technique are applied as for the
test area. If in doubt, and on sensitive surfaces like fabrics, leather and wood it is always better to ask for advice from your
Steam Cleaner Dealer.
•
For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors, etc...) take great care as too long an application of steam could alter the waxed
appearance, the shine or the colour of the surface cleaned. We therefore recommend you apply steam on such surfaces only for
brief periods or to clean these surfaces using a cloth first held in the steam.
•
Please pay particular attention while cleaning brick floors, too long an application of steam could damage wax, brightness or
colour of these surfaces.
•
For delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc…), we recommend that the small brush should always be
covered with at least two cloths to reduce the intensity of the steam.
