SAFETY

1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
‰ WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before use. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommends that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your local Sealey Stockist.
If the product is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable Appliance Test) tested.
For electrical safety information, it is important that the following information is read and understood.
1.1.1. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.
1.1.2. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.
1.1.3. Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse – see fuse rating in these instructions

× DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
× DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
× DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or replaced immediately by a qualified electrician.
1.1.4. This product is fitted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and remove it from use.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Sealey recommends that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
× DO NOT run the cleaner continuously for more than one hour at a time, as doing so can damage the internal components.
× DO NOT operate the unit without fluid in the tank. Always ensure the fluid is no higher than 2/3rd full. Always ensure there is a minimum depth of 7cm.
× DO NOT drop any item into the tank as this may cause damage to the transducer. Always place the items gently into the tank and use the basket whenever possible.
The more items that you place in your cleaning bath the less efficiently it will clean. It is not advised to overlap items. Always allow plenty of clear space between the items.
Keep the lid on during use. This will prevent splashes and reduce evaporation of the fluid.
× Never immerse the machine or power cord in water or other liquid.
× DO NOT touch the power plug with wet hands, especially when inserting or removing the plug.
× DO NOT touch the unit if the machine has fallen into the water during operation. Remove the power plug from the socket first.
× DO NOT disassemble the machine, except by professionals.
** UNPLUG the power source while filling or emptying the tank.
× DO NOT spray water or liquid over the device and the control panel.
× DO NOT operate the cleaner without proper grounding.
× DO NOT place the device on a soft surface, where the vents could be blocked.
**Upon completion of the cleaning cycle, turn the heater off and isolate the machine from the electrical supply.
Take care when adding or removing items from the cleaning tank as the fluid is likely to be hot and displaced fluid can damage the internal components. Any displaced fluid must be dried up immediately.
This device is not intended to use by individuals with restricted physical sensory or mental capacities or those with a lack of experience or knowledge including children unless they are supervised by an individual who is responsible for their safety or has received training in operating the device.
****Keep it away from children!
