1.3 Concerning hot steam
and hot parts of the
appliance
Never direct the steam base at persons, animals, or
plants. Always point the steam base downwards towards
the surface to be cleaned. Even then, take care that parts
of your body never get under the steam base. Never oper-
ate the appliance without wearing shoes. There is a danger
of scalding.
Never lay the appliance on its side during operation.
Never use the appliance in a horizontal position, let alone
over your head. Never leave the appliance on and unsuper-
vised. There is a danger of scalding.
Do not point the steam base at electrical appliances,
power sockets, cables, etc. Be even more careful where
there are recessed sockets in the floor or similar. There is a
risk of electric shock.
Do not use the appliance to clean pressure containers
or containers where you are unsure of the content. There is
danger of them bursting or exploding.
Let hot appliances and accessories, especially the mi-
cro-fibre cleaning cloth, cool off before touching them. Car-
ry the appliance by its handle or carrying handle only.
Take care not to use the steam cleaner on one spot for
too long. Otherwise, the surface might be damaged.
Provide adequate ventilation during and after your
cleaning work.
