IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN
CHILDREN ARE PRESENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE
FOLLOWING:
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS,
ELECTROCUTION, FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS:
• Read all instructions before using.
• To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance
before each use by holding it away from your body and operating unit.
• 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 pull 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.
• Return to HoMedics Service Center 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 plugged in.
• Never steam a garment while it is being worn.
• 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.
• Let the unit cool for at least 30 minutes before pouring water out of the reservoir.
• Never drop or insert any object into any opening or hose.

• Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where
oxygen is being administered.
• Surfaces of this appliance may be hot when in use. Do not let eyes or bare skin touch heated
surfaces.
• Do not place the steam nozzle directly on any surface or on the appliance power cord while it
is hot or plugged in. Use the stand provided.
• Always keep the hose and nozzle elevated above the water container.
• To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
• Do not use an extension cord to operate the appliance. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, a 15 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.
• Never pour water directly into reservoir. Pour water in water tank only.
• When changing attachments, please be sure the unit is off and no steam is being released to
avoid contact with hot water.
• Use caution when changing attachments as they may contain hot water from condensation.
Ensure the attachments are dry or cooled off to avoid contact with hot water.
