ENGLISH General Warnings Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS! • Do not touch any hot areas on the steam cleaner. It is normal for the steam cleaner to heat up during operation. • Do not use the steam cleaner to treat any item of clothing while being worn on the body. • The force and heat of the steam may have an adverse effect on some materials. Always test the steamer on a small concealed area to determine if it is suitable for treatment with the steam cleaner. • Never aim the steam cleaner at people, animals or plants (risk of scalding!) Do not aim the steam cleaner at electrical systems or wires. • Accessories become hot during use - allow them to cool down before handling. • Do not use the steam cleaner directly overhead. IMPORTANT! This steam cleaner is equipped with a steam release valve mechanism, located at the rear of the steam generator. In the event of a steam flow blockage, the safety valve is designed to release the steam. Regular cleaning of the steam chamber and nozzle is therefore recommended to avoid such an occurrence. If the steam is released from the safety valve, stop cleaning and unplug the steam cleaner from the electrical outlet. Allow the steam cleaner to cool down thoroughly for at least one hour. After this time, clean the steam chamber and nozzle. If steam is still being released from the safety valve after cleaning, contact a service center. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Household Use Only 4
