• Please ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate matches
that of your socket prior to connecting the steam cleaner to your
mains power supply.
• Only connect the appliance to a properly earthed socket.
• The appliance's plug must fit into the socket. The plug may not be
modified in any way. Do not use adaptors with appliances that have
a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and appropriate sockets reduce
the risk of an electric shock.
• We recommend that the appliance only be operated from a socket
protected by a residual current circuit-breaker. Please consult an
electrician if necessary.
• Never touch the plug with wet hands.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the mains by removing the
mains plug from the socket. Never pull on the cable!
• A faulty connection cable may only be replaced by a cable with
identical connection values. Send the appliance to the Royal
Appliance Customer Service Centre for repair.
• Ensure that the connection values match those of the steam cleaner
if using an extension cable. Ask a specialist dealer if necessary.
• Ensure that the cable does not become a tripping hazard. It may
not be kinked, pinched or run over.

or the handicapped!
• Never leave the steam cleaner unattended particularly if children or
handicapped persons are in the same room.
• The appliance must be stored out of the reach of children.
• Do not allow children to play with the packaging materials (plastic
film).

Do not operate a damaged appliance or damaged accessories.
• Never aim the steam cleaner at people, animals or plants (risk
of scalding)! Do not aim the steam cleaner at electrical systems
or wires.

switch the appliance off and remove the mains plug from the
socket if leaving the work area.
• The appliance is fitted with a thermostat and a thermal cut-out as
protection against overheating.
