The warning and information decals attached to
the unit feature provide important details for safe
operation.

In addition to the information provided in the
Operating Instructions, the general safety
regulations and accident prevention ordinances
imposed by official authorities must be
observed.

Electrical Connection

Connect the unit only to properly grounded
mains receptacles supplying the voltage
indicated on the rating plate.

Devices certified in compliance with
Protection Class I must be operated on
properly earthed power sources.

In high-humidity environments, such as bath
installations, the unit may be operated only in
conjunction with an approved protective
ground-fault circuit interruptor. Please
obtain the advice of an electrical specialist.

The unit must be operated with the power
supply cord or cable as specified by the
manufacturer. No substitutions are
permitted. Observe the maintenance
instructions. Refer to the Operating
Instructions for part number and original
equipment designation.

Never touch the power plug with wet hands.

The power cord and/or extension cord must
not be subjected to of mechanical damage
by vehicle tyres, or to lateral or longitudinal
distress (squeezing, pinching or pulling).

The extension cord must have the cross-
section specified in the Operating
Instructions, and must be spray-water
protected. The cable coupling must not be
placed in water.

When replacing couplings on power or
extension cords, the splash protection and
mechanical strength must be maintained.
Observe the maintenance instructions.

Operating Specifics

Prior to each use, the unit and its
attachments must be inspected for proper
condition and operational safety. If the unit is
found to be in unsatisfactory or unsafe
condition, its use is prohibited.

Please check especially the safety catch and
the electrical power connection.

The steam hose must be free of damage
(scalding hazard!). A damaged steam hose
must be replaced without delay. Only hoses
and connecting elements approved by the
manufacturer may be used.

Refer to the Operating Instructions for order
number and original equipment designation.

Never fill the boiler with solvent-bearing
liquids or undiluted acids! This particularly
includes cleaning agents, petrol or paint
thinner. EXPLOSION HAZARD! Also, do not
use acetone, undiluted acids and solvents,
because they attack the materials of which
the unit is constructed.

In the event that the unit is used at petrol
stations and in other hazardous areas, the
appropriate safety regulations must be
observed. Operation of the unit in explosive
environments is prohibited.

The unit must be placed securely on a firm
surface.

During operation, the steam control switch
must not be wedged open.

Use extreme caution when filling water into
the boiler while it is still hot. Sudden steam
pressure could expel hot water from the
boiler and cause severe scalding injury!

Cleaning of electrical appliances

When cleaning electrical appliances
(including electric cookers), they must be cut
off from the mains (switch off circuit breakers
or remove the fuse). Before returning them to
normal operation, the appliances must be
allowed to dry thoroughly.

Please observe the instructions of the
respective appliance manufacturers!
