3.3 Precautionary measures
• Operation of the appliance is subject to national regulations.
• Always ensure the appliance is in proper working order before starting up.
• Perform regular checks on the power cable, plug and steam suction hose for
damage or signs of wear.
• Do not start the appliance if the steam suction hose or power cable are da-
maged.
• Place the appliance on a stable and level surface. Never place it on warm or
hot surfaces. Choose somewhere that is not accessible to children or pets.
• Do not position the appliance in direct proximity to heat sources (i res, heaters
or other heat-emitting objects).
• Position the appliance somewhere with good air circulation to prevent over-
heating.
• Never expose the appliance to the weather (rain, snow, frost etc.).
• Never touch the appliance, plug or electrical cables with wet hands or feet.
• Do not bend, squeeze or run over the steam suction hose.
• Never pull on the power cable or on the appliance itself when disconnecting
the mains plug.
• Protect the power cable from heat sources, steam and oil, and from damage
by avoiding pulling, squeezing or running over the cable.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the mains.
• To prevent unauthorised use of the appliance, ensure all switches are off and
the power is disconnected during breaks.
• Always disconnect from the mains before cleaning and maintenance work.
• Only perform maintenance work that is described in the User Manual. Only use
original spare parts and accessories.
• Do not undertake any technical modii cations on the appliance.
• Never repair or open the appliance yourself. Repairs may only be performed
by authorised personnel.
• Take the appropriate precautions when using acidic descaling agents. Protect
sensitive surfaces, especially natural stone and wood, from spray and droplets.
• Some drops of condensation may form at the start of steam cleaning – wipe
these up with a cloth.
INFO:
To minimise the occurrence of condensation (caused when the steam
hose and attachments are not at operating temperature) it is recom-
mended that you allow the steam to l ow for a few seconds on the
maximum setting before starting the cleaning work. This ensures the
steam hose and attachments heat up more quickly.
