IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Power supply
- Make sure the voltage indicated on the characteristics label coincides with the mains
power supply before plugging your steam cleaner into a mains socket.
- Only plug the appliance into a suitable socket that is earthed.

plug in any way. Do not use adapters with earthed domestic appliances. Unmodified
plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of electric shock. The appliance should only
be used with a plug that is protected by a circuit breaker. Check with an electrician if
necessary. Never touch the plug with wet hands.
- When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug out of the socket. Never pull on the
cable!
- If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised
technical service, or a qualified technician to avoid danger.
- If using an extension lead, make sure the voltage coincides with that of the steam
cleaner. Consult a specialist distributor if necessary.
- Make sure there is no risk of tripping over the cable. It should not be tangled, pierced or
trapped .
