Warning
Warning: the power and heat of the steam may have adverse consequences for
certain materials.
Always check, before putting the device into operation, whether a surface or material
is actually suitable for treatment with steam. Do this by executing a test on a hidden
surface of the material you wish to treat.
1.
The force and heat of the steam may damage certain materials. Some fabrics may react to the temperature
of the steam. For example: unpainted wood or leather can be bleached by the action of steam; glossy
plastic can be dulled by steam; acrylic fibre, velvet and linen react very sensitively to the temperature
of steam.
2. Do not hold the steam in the direction of one spot for long periods! This can cause damage to materials!
3. Exposure to hot steam can cause scalding!
4. Burns can occur from touching hot parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when draining the appliance
after use as there may be hot water in the unit.
