IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

Use the appliance only for its intended use.
To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
The appliance should always be turned off before plugging or unplugging from the electrical outlet. Never pull the cord to disconnect from the outlet, instead grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
Do not let the power cord touch hot surfaces or come into contact with rough or sharp edges. Let the appliance cool completely before putting it away. Loop the cord loosely around the appliance when storing.
Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet when filling or emptying water, 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 the appliance. Contact the Consumer Services or take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the appliance is used after reassembly.
Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is connected or on an ironing board.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn your appliance upside down – there might be hot water in the reservoir.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate your appliance on the same circuit as another high-wattage appliance.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with 15A or greater 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 tripped over.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product has been designed for indoor, and domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use, or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply. Use the appliance for its intended use only.

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 a 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.
The clean pad accessory must never be used to clean surfaces. This accessory is only made to remove hairs and lint from textiles.
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 that 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.
Do not direct steam at people, animals, or clothes while they are being worn.
Never disconnect the appliance by pulling on the power cord; instead, grasp the plug and pull it to remove it from the socket outlet.
The appliance must not be left unattended while it is connected to the outlet.
The plug must be removed from the outlet before the water reservoir is filled with water.
The appliance must be used and rested on a stable surface.
When placing the appliance on its stand, ensure that the surface on which the stand is placed is stable.
The appliance is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage, or if it is leaking.
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 the 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.

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 pure demineralized or pure distilled 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 aging of your appliance.
