Specific Safety Notes
Note:
•
Do not open the ball valve (14) when the appliance is hot. Attach drain hose to water
outlet for drainage into a basin.
Don’t place the device with its back towards the room,
so that the safety valve is not directed towards any persons in case of disturbance.
•
For dry operation (without water), deactivate the heating by pressing the timer button U
for 3 seconds. If required, reactivate the heating by pressing again the timer button U
for 3 seconds.
•
The minimum distance between the device and the wall must not be less than 20 cm.
•
Keep the housing clean and dry.
•
Never open the machine under pressure. Check the gauge readings (3). Danger of
splashing water, hot steam or parts inside the unit.
•
Be careful when handling hot water - risk of scalding. The machine is continuously
heating when it’s turned on (100°C / 212°F). Risk to suffer damage from running dry.
•
It is prohibited to fill in aggressive or harmful materials.
•
Maximum operating pressure: 6 bar.
•
At temperatures higher than 100°C / 212°F, steam pressure prevents the lid from
opening. Wait until temperature drops considerably below 100°C / 212°F, if necessary
switch off the device. The device must be pressureless! (Check the gauge readings or
the valve on the rear of the device!)
•
The open lid must not be subjected to load. (
Don’t lean or rest on it!)
