IMPORTANT WARNINGS
Read these instructions carefully
The necessary precautions must be taken when using electrical applian-
ces, including the following:
• The appliance is equipped with thermostats and safety cap; these
have been made in compliance with European regulations governing
domestic appliances.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, make sure
that the voltage on the rating plate located on the bottom of the
machine corresponds to that of the power source.
• This appliance is for home use only and should not be used for com-
mercial or industrial purposes.
• Always connect the appliance to a grounded plug socket.
• Never leave the appliance within the reach of children or people
unable to properly operate it.
• Never leave the appliance exposed to the elements (rain, sun, etc.).
• Always place the appliance on a flat, level surface during use.
• If the appliance is to remain unused for a long period, it is advisable
to unplug it from the power source.
• To prevent damage to the appliance, never use it without water in
the boiler tank.
• The power cord must not come into contact with the hot surfaces
of the appliance.
• Never place the appliance on or close to sources of heat.
• Always unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance.
• The use of extension leads other than those authorised by the
appliance manufacturer could cause damage or accidents.
• Never direct the steam jet towards body parts; always handle the
steam nozzle with care: risk of scalding!
• Always unplug the appliance from the power source before filling the
boiler tank.
• Before opening the safety cap, and before refilling the boiler
tank, make sure that there is no residual steam still under
pressure in the tank, by pressing the steam dispenser but-
ton.
• Never use the appliance if the boiler tank cap is not correctly inser-
ted.
• Only start the appliance once the boiler tank has been filled to the
maximum level, otherwise the water will not reach the pressure

since any water left in the boiler tank could freeze, damaging the
appliance.
