4. Safety Instructions
To avoid life-threatening electric shocks:
Make certain that the power cord
does not become wet or moist during
operation. Run it such that it cannot be
crushed or damaged.
If the power cord or the power plug
are damaged, have these replaced by
the customer service before continuing
to use the device.
First pull the plug out of the power
socket before filling the device with
water or changing acccessory parts.
Only use the device in dry rooms, not
outdoors.
Only fill the device with the supplied
measuring cup! Never hold it under
running water. Never submerge the
device in water.
Never leave a heat-generating device
unattended! After use or during work
pauses, always pull the plug out of the
power socket. The device heats up and
generates steam pressure as long as
the plug is in the power socket!
Only use the device with dry hands
and never without shoes (not bare-
foot). This reduces contact of hot liquid
or steam with the body in the event of
an error.
To prevent fire hazards and the risk of
injury:
Never direct the steam toward people
or animals. Hot, high pressure steam
can cause serious injuries!
Caution - heat! High temperatures
should be expected at the steam exit
and lid threads during operation and
up to 30 minutes approx. after unplug-
ging the power card. Do not touch
these areas until they have cooled
down completely.
Only fill the device with clear water
never use other liquids or any additives!
These can react in unexpected ways
under pressure and heat!
Risk of scalding!
Never open the lid while pressure exists
within the boiler (e.g. if hissing can still be
heard when pressing the steam switch).
Otherwise, hot steam can escape rapidly
upon opening!
Do not operate the device with an
empty tank. If the water reserve is used
up, unplug the power cord to prevent
overheating.
Let the accessories cool before
removing them.
Only use the original accessory parts
for this device. Other parts may not be
sufficiently safe.
Never let children or elderly persons
work with the device unattended as
they may not always properly appreci-
ate the possible hazards.
Wear gloves, protective glasses and
breathing protection when attempting
to remove substances hazardous to
health.
