Safety instructions
To avoid potentially fatal electric
shocks:
• Ensure that the power cable does not become
wet or moist during use. Place it such that it cannot
be squashed or damaged.
• Should the appliance, the power cable or the plug
become damaged, to avoid personal risks arrange
for it/them to be repaired by Customer Services.
• Always remove the plug from the power socket befo-
re filling the appliance with water, cleaning it or
changing accessories.
• Use the device only in dry rooms, not outdoors.
• Fill the appliance using only the supplied funnel and
measuring beaker! Never hold it under running
water. Never submerge the device in water.
• NEVER leave a heat-generating appliance unat-
tended! After use or during work pauses, ALWAYS
remove the plug from the power socket. The appli-
ance heats up and generates steam pressure conti-
nuously when the plug is in the power socket!
• Use the appliance only with dry hands and
never without shoes (not barefoot). This will help
reduce hazardous body currents in the event of an
error.
• NEVER direct jets of steam towards electrical
appliances or heat or moisture sensitive objects.
To avoid the risks of fire or injury:
• Never direct the steam toward people or animals.
Hot steam under high pressure can cause serious
injuries!
• The steam switch may NOT be clamped when the
appliance is in use.
Caution – heat!
High temperatures are to be expected at the
steam exit and lid threads during operation
and for up to 30 minutes after removing the
power cable. Do not touch these areas until
they have cooled down completely.
• Fill the appliance with clean mains water only
(max. 320ml) – NEVER use other liquids or
sundry 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). Should you do so,
hot steam will escape rapidly upon opening!
• Do not operate the device with an empty water
tank. When the water reserve is used up, remove
the power cable to prevent the appliance from
overheating.
• The accessories will get hot during use! There is a
danger of being burnt!
• Allow the accessories to cool down before
removing them.
• Use only the original accessory parts for this
device. Other accessories may probably not
meet the safety requirements.
• This appliance is not suitable for children or for
people whose physical, sensorial or intellectual
faculties prevent the safe usage of the appliance
without support or supervision. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• Wear gloves, protective glasses and breathing
protection when attempting to remove substances
hazardous to health.
• Check to ensure that the voltage details given on the
appliance rating plate tally with the local power
supply voltage.
