Safety information

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

• Connect the appliance only to mains power sockets supplying a mains power voltage of 220–240 V ~, 50/60 Hz.
• In the event of operating malfunctions, and before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket.
• Always pull on the plug to disconnect the appliance from the mains; never pull on the power cable itself.
• Do not kink or crush the power cable, and route the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
• To avoid risks, arrange for defective plugs and/or power cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.
• Ensure that the power cable does not become wet or damp during use. Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be crushed or damaged.
• To prevent risks, stop using the appliance immediately if it is damaged.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power socket before filling it with water, changing accessories, or cleaning it.
• Use the appliance only in dry indoor areas, not outdoors.
• Never submerse the appliance in water or other liquids!
• Never aim the steam jet directly at electrical appliances or equipment which contains electrical components, such as the interior of ovens.
• Operate the appliance only with dry hands and never without shoes (i.e. not barefoot). This will help reduce the effect of an electric shock in the event of a malfunction.
• Never aim the appliance at moisture-sensitive objects.
