Important safety instructions

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

  Connecting to the wrong voltage may cause irreparable damage to the appliance and will void your guarantee.

• Do not use an extension cord. If you accept liability for doing so, only use an extension cord that is in good condition, with a plug that is grounded (3-prong) and is suited  to the appropriate power rating of the appliance.

• Completely unwind the power cord before plugging it into a grounded socket.

• 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.

Children shall not play with the appliance.  Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• The fabric steamer must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.

• Never disconnect the appliance by pulling on the power cord; instead, grasp the plug and pull it 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 refitting accessories and when not in use.

• Care should be taken when using the appliance due to the emission of steam.

• 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.

Before first use
When you first use the appliance, some smoke or a harmless odor 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.
  Do not use purely demineralized or pure distilled water, or any water with additives (perfume, essential oil…) water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, rainwater,  filtered, bottled or boiled water, water from refrigerators, batteries, or air conditioners as these may damage the appliance. These types of water contain organic waste,  mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining, leaking, or premature wear on your appliance. If your water is very hard, mix 50% untreated tap water with 50% distilled water (available in hardware stores). This water contains organic waste materials or minerals that concentrate under the effect of heat and cause spitting, brown coloring, or premature aging of your appliance.
