Important Safeguards - Electrolux 350 STEAM GUN Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Carefully read these instructions
• The appliance is provided with a temperature regulator, a thermofuse and a safety
plug. It complies with European standards regarding electrical household appliances.
• Check that the voltage indicated on the plate corresponds with that of the local
network before connecting the appliance to the supply mains.
• Always plug the appliance into a grounded outlet.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain, sun, etc.).
• Before using the appliance, ensure that the objects, surfaces and fabrics to be cleaned
are resistant to or compatible with the high temperature of the steam.
In particular, follow the directions provided by the manufacturer and carry out a test
on a hidden part or a sample before using the appliance on carpets and hard floors,
wooden surfaces or delicate fabrics such as silk and velvet.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the electric network.
• When using the flexible pipe (15), before releasing the steam, direct the jet into a
container so as to remove the condensate from the pipe.
• Do not tilt the appliance more than 45° from its upright position while it is being used
in order to prevent hot water from leaking out of the boiler tank.
• Avoid directing the jet of steam towards people, animals or equipment with electrical
components.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
• Always unplug the appliance when you fill the boiler tank with water.
• Never leave the appliance within the reach of children or unable persons.
• Never add descaling agents, aromatics, alcoholics or detergents to the water in the
boiler - they may damage the appliance or make it unsafe to use.
Do not touch hot surfaces while the appliance is being used. Allow the attachments
to cool down before replacing them.
Attention: before unscrewing the cap (3), carry out the following operations:
- unplug the power cord from the outlet
- slowly unscrew the cap (3) and wait for a few seconds before unscrewing it
completely.
ATTENTION: before removing the flexible tube (15), proceed as follows:
- disconnect the plug and lead from the electrical mains socket;
- leave the appliance to cool down for several minutes;
- press the steam button (4) and direct the jet of the pistol (2) into a recipient
until all steam and/or water has been ejected;
- rotate the tube and remove it slowly from the appliance.
• WARNING: do not use the glass-cleaning brush if the surface to be cleaned is very
cold. The change in temperature could cause the glass to crack. At times when
temperatures are particularly low, preheat the glass by directing steam over the
whole surface to be treated from a distance of about 40 cm.
• Do not use the appliance if it is damaged. Any repair work, including the replacement
of the power cord, must only be carried out by Electrolux Service Agent or by Electrolux
authorized technicians - as a special tool is required - in order to prevent any risk.
