1) Read the instruction booklet carefully.
2) When in use, the appliance contains pressurized steam: incorrect use could be
dangerous. The appliance is only for domestic uses as shown in the booklet. The
manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for damage caused by incorrect use of the
appliance.
3) Always unplug the appliance before refilling the boiler or carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning work on the machine.
4) Before using, check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage specified on
the rating plate of the appliance.
5) Plug the appliance into power outlets of 10A current rating and provided with good
earthing.
6) Do not aim the steam jet at electrical sockets, pressurized elements as you
may damage them and get an electric shock.
7) Do not aim the steam jet at the appliance itself.
8) Do not unplug by pulling the electrical lead or the appliance.
9) To avoid damage to the insulation, do not run the appliance over the electrical
supply lead.
10) Make sure the cap is firmly screwed on and remove any water residue from
the cavity before you switch on the boiler.
11) Do not plug in the boiler without water in it. To add water, unplug the

Never aim the steam jet at persons or animals, or use on objects unable to
withstand high temperatures.
15) Do not touch the plug with wet hands.

so its surface heats up during normal use. Persons with a pathological insensitivity
to heat must exercise particular care when using this appliance.
