IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your Steam Cleaner, basic safety
precautions should always be observed, including
the following:
1. Read all instructions before using your steam
cleaner.
2. Use the system only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not
immerse any part of the system in water or
other liquids.
4. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet:
instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the
system cool completely before putting away or
opening water tank (removing the safety cap).
Wrap cord loosely around system when
storing.
6. Always disconnect system from electrical outlet
when filling with water or emptying and when
not in use Always turn the safety cap slowly
when opening the water tank . This will allow
any remaining steam to escape gradually.
7. Do not operate the system with a damaged cord
or plug, or if the appliance or any other part of
the system has been dropped or damaged. To
avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble or attempt to repair the steam
cleaner. Return the system to the retailer for
examination and repair. Incorrect re-assembly or
repair can cause a risk of electrical shock or
injury to persons when the steam cleaner is
used.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance
being used by or near children. Do not leave
the system unattended while connected to
electrical outlet or when hot.
9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water or steam. Use caution
when draining unit after use as there may be
hot water in the unit. Never direct steam at
any person. The steam is very hot and can
cause burns.
10. Do not operate in the presence of explosive
and/or flammable fumes.
11. This appliance is intended only for
household use. Follow all user instructions in
this manual.
12. Never use any chemicals or substance
other than tap water in the machine. Use of
chemicals may damage the machine. Use of
chemicals will automatically void your warranty.
