important
Read this user manual carefully before you use the appliance and save it for future reference.
danger
- Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid, nor rinse it under the tap.
- Beware of hot steam that comes out of the steamer. Steam can cause burns.
Warning
- Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before
you connect the appliance.
- Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord, the supply hose or the appliance itself
shows visible damage, or if the appliance has been dropped or leaks.
- Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by Philips for examination or repair.
Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself, otherwise the guarantee becomes invalid.
- If the mains cord or the supply hose is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a service
centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
- Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- The nozzle of the steamer head can become extremely hot and may cause burns if touched.
- Always unplug the appliance before you clean it or before you refill the water tank.
Caution
- Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
- Do not use the appliance when it is placed on a table or chair. Only use the appliance when it is
placed on the floor. If the hose forms a U-shape, steam condenses in the hose and this causes
irregular steam or water droplets to come out of the steamer head.
