There is a risk of scalding from hot steam in the case of incorrect
operation!
Do not open pressure tank screw cap on the filling tube of the
pressure tank at pressure above 0 bar!
There must not be any unauthorised third persons in the range of
the steam jet. Handle hot steam carefully to avoid injuries.
The pressure tank screw cap must be correctly sealed during
operation.
The outlet of the safety pressure valve is located in the tank cap.
Attention!
In the event of any possible tripping of the safety
pressure valve, steam discharges on the underside of the tank
cap.
The outflow of steam at high velocity causes electrostatic charge
generated by friction to accumulate on the nozzle as well as on the
product to be cleaned. The electrostatic charge developed on the
handpiece is continuously dissipated via the ground connection of
the device. Depending on external conditions such as insufficient
conductivity of the floor and/or shoes, dissipation of electrostatic
charge of the product to be cleaned may be impaired.
This absolutely harmless but unpleasant state can be sensed as
“tingling” or “electric shock” (a similar effect may occur, for
example, in carpets or velvet car seats). The discharge that takes
place here can be observed as a visible spark discharge from the
product to be cleaned to the handpiece.
It is recommended in such cases to ground the product to be
cleaned or, if necessary, the wrist of the user (e.g. with an ESD
wrist strap).
Steam jet cleaners can cause unpleasant noise levels during
operation. Use personal hearing protection during the stay in the
work area.
Perform the maintenance work described in this manual (
chapter
) at regular intervals to guarantee the function and safety of the
machine.
Repairs must only be carried out by authorised qualified personnel.
Always unplug the mains plug before servicing or opening the
machine.
Only original parts are permitted to be used for repairs.
Close the water supply of the pump at the water tap after operation
or if the machine is unsupervised.
The machine is only permitted to be stored and transported upright
when the pressure tank is filled; otherwise residues can clog the
steam valve.
The user is responsible for checking the cleaning result.
Elma Schmidbauer GmbH shall not accept any damage and
warranty claims if:
•
the product is used for any other than the intended purpose
specified in the operating manual
•
