(Original instructions)
Do not use on leather, wax polished
u
furniture or floors, synthetic fabrics,
velvet or other delicate, steam-sensi-
tive materials.
Warning! Do not use on
unsealed wood or unsealed
laminate floors. On surfaces that
have been treated with wax or
some no wax floors, the sheen
may be removed by the heat
and steam action. It is always
recommended to test an iso-
lated area of the surface to be
cleaned before proceeding. We
also recommend that you check
the use and care instructions
from the floor manufacturer.
Never put descaling, aromatic, alco-
u
holic or detergent products into the
steam cleaner, as this may damage it
or make it unsafe for use.
If the home circuit breaker activates
u
while using the steam function, dis-
continue product use immediately and
contact the customer support centre.
(Beware of the risk of electrical shock.)
The appliance emits very hot steam to
u
sanitize the area of use. This means
that the steam head, cleaning pads
and carpet attachment get very hot
during use.
Caution! Always wear suitable shoes
u
when using your steam mop and when
changing the accessories on your
steam mop. Do not wear slippers or
open toed footwear.
The lid may become hot during use.
