IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
Care must be taken when using any electrical appliance. Please adhere
to the following precautions.
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the
voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the
appliance directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. The installation of a current safety switch with
a maximum rated operating of 30 mA in the electrical circuit is recommended. If in
doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
• Do not use any extension cord or multiple socket to avoid risk of fire or electric
shock.
• The appliance is designed for partly unattended operation. Nevertheless, duri-
ng operation you should check regularly (every ½ hour) the water level in the water
container (between water level mark ›min‹ and ›max‹) and ensure that the appliance
is operating properly. Always switch off the appliance and unplug from the power
outlet when not in use and before moving or cleaning the appliance.
• Always handle the power cord with care. The power cord may never be knotted,
twisted or squeezed. Do not pull or strain the power cord. Always grasp the plug to
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Do not let the power cord hang
over the edge of the table or counter. Take care not to entangle in the power cord.
• Always use the handles on both sides of the steamer base for moving the appli-
ance.
• Do not immerse the steamer base or power cord in water or any other liquid.
Do not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the steamer base.
Never place the steamer base or power cord in an automatic dishwasher or under
a tap. When liquids are spilled on the exterior of the steamer base, immediately
switch OFF and unplug the appliance and dry it.
