CAUTION
● Longer periods of use of the steam turbo brush may
lead to poor blood circulation in the hands due to vi-
bration. In case of symptoms, e.g. tingling in the fin-
gers, cold fingers, take a break. A general period of
use cannot be set, because this depends on several
influencing factors:
● Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation
(frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fin-
gers).
● Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circu-
lation.
● Continuous operation is more harmful than opera-
tion interrupted by work breaks.
You should consult a doctor if using the steam turbo
brush regularly and for lengthy periods of time, and in
the event of repeated occurrences of symptoms such
as tingling in the fingers or cold fingers.
Only use the appliance in private households. The ap-
pliance is intended for cleaning with steam and can be
used with appropriate accessories as described in
these operating instructions. Detergents are not re-
quired. Observe the safety instructions.
