2 Safety notices

2.3 Re: Hot steam and hot parts of the appliance
Never direct the steam jet at persons, animals or plants. There is a danger of scalding. Al-
ways point the steam jet downwards towards the surface to be cleaned. Even then, take care
that parts of your body never get into the steam jet. Never lay the steam pistol on its side when
it's running.
Do not direct the steam jet at electrical appliances, plug sockets, cables, etc. There is a risk
of electric shock.
The appliance produces steam under pressure for cleaning purposes. Even after you have
switched off the appliance, hot steam will be available for approx. 20 more minutes. This may
escape, e.g. when the steam trigger is pulled accidentally. So, release excess steam right after
switching off by pulling the steam trigger.
Do not use the appliance to clean containers that are filled with water, other liquids or loose
substances. Hot liquid or particles could be ejected.
Never open the water tank cap when the appliance is running. Before opening the tank cap,
always switch off the appliance, disconnect it from the mains, discharge any remaining steam
and let the appliance cool off for at least 30 minutes.
Let the hot appliance and its accessories cool off before touching them. Only the carry the
appliance by its handle.
Take care not to use the steam cleaner on one spot for a longer period of time. Otherwise,
the surface to be cleaned might be damaged.
Provide adequate ventilation during and after your cleaning-work.

2.4 Re: Power supply

Never touch the mains plug with wet hands. Always pull directly at the plug if you want to dis-
connect the appliance from the mains. Never pull on the cable as this could damage it.
Never carry the appliance by its power cord. Take care that the power cord is not bent,
pinched, rolled over or gets in contact with heat sources. Also take care that it does not become
a stumbling-hazard.
If possible, avoid using extension cords. If you must use an extension cord, use only safety-
certified, water-protected single extension cords (no-multi-socket distributors) designed for the
power consumption of the appliance.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that the voltage stated on the type plate
matches the voltage of your plug socket. Only use sockets with a ground/safety contact.
Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Always use the supplied refilling con-
tainer and funnel to fill the water tank. Keep the other parts of the appliance dry.
Only fill up the water tank after completing cleaning and when the mains plug is pulled out.
Always check the power cord for possible damages before using the appliance.
Before you clean or maintain the appliance, switch off the appliance and pull the mains plug
from the socket.
