IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using your appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

  1. Read all instructions.
  2. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam button.
  3. Use appliance only for its intended use.
  4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
  5. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
  6. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
  7. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
  8. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
  9. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or  ttempt to repair the appliance, take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or  njury to persons when the appliance is used.
  10. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.
  11. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in
    the reservoir.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
  2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, use one with a higher ampere rating than the appliance. The appliance ampere rating is calculated by dividing the rated  attage (W) by the rated voltage (V) appearing on the nameplate. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord  annot be pulled or tripped over.
    WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
    WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,  ersonal injury and material damage.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

  • Do not direct steam at people, animals, electrical appliances or electrical outlets.
  • Do not expose to rain.
  • Do not immerse the appliance in water.
  • Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

  • Do not use appliance in an enclosed space filled with vapor given off by oil-based paint thinner, some moth-proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.
  • Do not use on leather, wax polished furniture or floors, synthetic fabrics, velvet or other delicate, steamsensitive materials.
  • Do not use on any unsealed hard surfaces or painted surfaces. Additionally, on surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no-wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. It is always recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We also recommend that you check the use  nd care instructions from the floor or surface manufacturer.
  • Never put de-scaling, aromatic, alcoholic or detergent products into the steam cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use.
  • If the circuit breaker activates while using the steam function, discontinue product use immediately and contact the customer support center. (Beware of the risk of electrical shock.)
  • The appliance emits very hot steam to sanitize the area of use. This means that the steam floor head and cleaning pads get very hot during use.
  • Always wear suitable shoes when using your steam cleaner and when changing the accessories on your steam cleaner. Do not wear slippers or open-toed footwear.
  • Steam may escape from the appliance during use.

  • Injuries caused by prolonged use of the appliance. When using any appliance for prolonged periods ensure you take regular breaks.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the  lug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet,  Contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.

Additional Safety Information

WARNING: Never modify the product or any part of i Damage or personal injury could result.

  • An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable,  hat is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one  xtension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on  ord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Minimum gauge for Cord sets

Volts Total Length of (meters) Cord in Feet
120 V 25 (7.6) 50 (15.2)
240 V SO(15.2) 100 (30.5)
