-
Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the appliance cool completely before putting it away. Loop cord loosely around the appliance when storing.
-
Do not fill the water tank with hot water or corrosive cleaning agents which could cause damage. Distilled or filtered water is strongly recommended.
-
Always turn off and unplug the unit before refilling, draining, or when it is empty or not in use.

-
Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use carefully when
you turn a steam appliance upside down, there may be hot water in the reservoir. -
When touching the steam nozzle or the hot steam or tilting the unit, please be careful of the high temperature to avoid being scalded.

-
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plugin anyway.
