OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES
During operation, the steamer hose may gurgle.
This is a normal result of condensation col-
lecting inside the hose. Simply lift the T-nozzle
upward until the hose is extended to its full
height. The gurgling will disappear when the
excess moisture inside the hose has had a
chance to drain back into the base.
CAUTION: Hose will be hot when
in use. Avoid prolonged contact.
