Important safety instructions

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

• Read all instructions before using this product.
• This product has been designed for indoor, domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions results in the manufacturer accepting no responsibility and the warranty becoming void.
• WARNING! The voltage of your electrical installation must correspond to that of the appliance (120V). Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will invalidate your warranty.
• This section concerns only appliances with polarized plugs (one blade of the plug is wider than the other): to reduce the risk of electric shock, the appliance is fitted with polarized plug. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
• Use the appliance for its intended use only.
• To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check the appliance before each use by holding it away from the body and operating the steam button.
• The surfaces which are marked with this sign mean the steam head is very hot during the use of the appliance. Do not touch this surface before the appliance has completely cooled down.
• Never disconnect the appliance by pulling on the power cord; instead, grasp the plug and pull to remove it from the socket outlet.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces or come into contact with rough or sharp edges. Let the appliance cool completely down before putting it away. Loop the cord loosely around the appliance when storing.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply when filling with water or emptying when cleaning, when removing or applying accessories and when not in use.
• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance. Take it to the nearest approved service center for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electrical shock or injury to persons when the appliance is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while plugged in or while it is still hot.
• Burns could occur from touching hot metal or plastic parts, hot water, or steam. Exercise care when you empty a steam appliance. There may be hot water in the reservoir.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with a 15A ampere rate shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over. To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
• Do not direct steam at people, animals or clothes while they are being worn.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The use of accessory attachments other than those provided by the manufacturer is not recommended and may result in fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• The appliance must be rested on a stable surface. If the appliance is fitted with a base, when placing the appliance on its base, ensure that the surface on which the base is placed is stable.
• The appliance must not be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
• Check the electrical power cord for signs of wear or damage prior to use. If the electrical power cord is damaged, it must be replaced at an approved service center to avoid any danger.
• To achieve optimal results in sanitizing , gently steam back and forth 3 times on the fabric.

Before first use

When you first use the appliance, some smoke or a harmless odour may be produced or there may be a small discharge of particles. This will not affect the use of the appliance and will disappear quickly.

What water to use?

Your appliance has been designed to use untreated tap water. If your water is very hard, mix 50% tap water and 50% bottled demineralized water. Never use water-containing additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softeners, etc.), or condensation water (for example water from tumble dryers, water from refrigerators, water from air conditioning units, rainwater). This water contains organic waste materials or minerals that concentrate under the effect of heat and cause spitting, brown coloring or premature ageing of your appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
