IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
2. Use the appliance only for its intended use.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
4. Always turn the appliance to “Off” before plugging or unplugging the appliance from the electrical outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the appliance cool completely before putting it away. Loop the cord loosely around the appliance when storing.
6. Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
7. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair, contact customer service.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
11. Never steam clothes while someone is wearing them.
12. If an extension cord is necessary, a 15 ampere-rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
13. When filling the water tank, watch for water that can drip onto the floor and cause you to slip and fall.
14. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. Always make sure you can move freely without getting tangled with the cord.
15. The appliance may cause personal injury or be damaged if dropped.
16. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries or void your warranty.
17. To avoid personal injury and damage to the appliance, only add water to the water tank. NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any other chemical additives.
18. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way;  if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Unpack your Steamer; remove and peel off any labels adhered to the unit.
• Remove and save the instruction manual.
• Wipe the outside of the unit with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust. Dry thoroughly.
• Keep the unit on a flat, leveled surface.
