Black & Decker GSR10 - Manual (Page 2)

2 1
When using your appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
❑ Read all instructions.
❑ To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam
vents, check appliance before each use by holding it away from body
and operating steam button.
❑ Use appliance only for its intended use.
❑ To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in
water or other liquids.
❑ Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.
❑ Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool
completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance
when storing.
❑ Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with
water or emptying, and when not in use.
❑ Do not operate 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 the appliance, take it to a qualified service person for
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a
risk of fire, electric 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 appliance unattended while connected.
❑ 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.
❑ To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another
high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
❑ If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 12.5 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.
