- Always rest the clothes steamer on its base for storage purposes. Do not leave the garment steamer unattended whilst plugged in.
- Do not put the clothes steamer away with water still remaining in the water tank. Always empty the tank after use.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Thanks to a high steam flow, this clothes steamer can be used to smooth out creases. The high temperatures generated during use can cause burns. Always hold the steamer by its neck and warn others (especially children) of the potential risk of burns from steam, hot water and hot parts, especially when vertical steaming.
- Store the clothes steamer out of the reach of children.
- When resting the clothes steamer on its base, make sure that the surface on which the base has been placed is stable.

- The clothes steamer has been designed for household use with tap water. Do not put perfume, vinegar or any other chemicals in the tank. This unit is not designed for use with these chemicals.
- Always test the clothes steamer on a small, inconspicuous area of the textile item to be steamed, in order to check that the temperatures are not too high for the textile in question.
- To avoid damaging the clothes steamer, do not use an alkaline cleaner to clean it. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent.
- The clothes steamer generates hot steam. Do not touch the steam head during use. When using the clothes steamer, make sure that the steam head is in a vertical position and not pointing towards you.
- The clothes steamer is fitted with a safety thermal cut-off to protect it from overheating. Nevertheless, do not leave the clothes steamer unattended whilst it is plugged into a mains socket. Always be extra vigilant when children are at home or in the close vicinity of the clothes steamer.
- Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX indicator line, as this may cause water to leak.
- Water may leak from the steam head whenever the temperature of the clothes steamer is not high enough to vaporise the water and produce steam. Therefore, you should always pre-heat the clothes steamer for 2-3 minutes before using it.
- Never use the clothes steamer on clothing being worn and never direct the steam at people or animals.
- Do not let the power cable touch any hot surfaces.
- Keep the steamer clean. Follow the cleaning instructions provided in this leaflet.
