IMPORTANT SAfETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEfORE USE
When using your new steam cleaner/fabric steamer basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Fill the tank with (at most) with one measure of the water beaker provided. Do
not add anything to the water including chemicals, cologne, detergent and so
on. This may seriously damage the appliance and will void the warranty.
2. Do not use the appliance without water in the tank. If it stops producing steam,
this means that the water tank is empty. Unplug the appliance, and check that
the “Comfort Safety” system full indicator is not red (6). Then fill the tank with
one measure of water from the beaker, close the lid of the “Comfort Safety”
system (5) and plug the unit back into the wall outlet.
3. Warning: Always unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before refilling the
tank and check that the “Comfort Safety” system full indicator (6) is not red
before filling the tank.
4. Always check that the surfaces, objects and fabrics to be treated are resistant
to or compatible with high temperature steam. We recommend checking the
manufacturers instructions and carrying out a test on a hidden area or a sample
before using.
5. If you use the flexible pipe, point the initial flow from the steam cleaner/fabric
steamer into a container in order to get rid of steam that has condensed in
the pipe.
6. Do not lift the steam cleaner/fabric steamer at more than 45° from the
vertical during use, as boiling water could come out with the steam.
7. Never point the steam jet at persons, animals or at appliances containing
electrical parts.
8. Caution: the accessories will heat up during use. Take caution when removing
them.
9. Only use the measuring beaker to fill the water tank.
10. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the steam cleaner/
fabric steamer in water or other liquids, nor use with wet hands.
11. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet. Instead, grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.
12. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the steam cleaner/fabric
steamer cool completely before putting away.
13. It is always recommended to disconnect the steam cleaner/fabric steamer
from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying. It should also be
disconnected when not in use.
