Connect the appliance safely

Since the appliance is operated with electrical current, there is a danger of electric shock. Therefore:

• Do not immerse appliance in water or other liquids, or treat with liquids. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in rooms with high humidity. Do not handle the plug with wet hands.
• Connect appliance only to outlets with protective contact. Connect and start up the appliance only according to the details on the name plate (underside of the appliance).
• Check the appliance and power cable for possible damage before use. Never operate a defective appliance or an appliance with a defective power cable.
• Never try to repair the appliance or its power cable yourself. To prevent hazards, repairs to the appliance and the power cable may only be made by our customer service. Give a defective appliance to a dealer or contact SEVERIN customer service.
• Make sure that the power cable is not kinked, crushed or run over and that it does not come into contact with sources of heat, humidity or sharp edges. Make sure that the power cable does not become a trip hazard.
• Do not pull or transport the appliance using the power cable. When unplugging the plug from the outlet, always pull directly on the plug.
• If possible, do not use an extension cable. If this is unavoidable, use only GS-tested, simple extension cables (no multi-outlet adapters) that are designed for the appliance's high power consumption.
• Immediately after use, before cleaning or maintaining the appliance, as well as before changing accessories, switch off the appliance and pull the plug from the outlet.

Safety of particular groups of people

• This appliance may only be used by children over the age of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities or a lack of experience and/or knowledge when they are supervised or if they have been instructed about the safe use of the appliance and have understood the risks resulting from the use of the appliance.
• Children may not play with the appliance or stand or sit on the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance may not be performed by children without supervision.
• Keep children younger than 8 away from the appliance and power cable.
• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children and dispose of it properly. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffocation.
• Persons with sensitivity disorder, in particular reduced sensitivity to temperature differences, must be a lot more careful when using this appliance..

Superheated steam and hot appliance parts

The appliance uses hot steam (approx. 100^ ). Risk of scalding where steam is discharged and on cleaning cloth soaked with hot steam!

• Never point mop head towards persons, animals or plants! Mop head must always be pointed downwards towards the surface to be cleaned!
• Make sure that no part of the body is ever positioned underneath the mop head. Never operate appliance without wearing shoes.
• Do not point mop head towards electrical devices, outlets, cables, etc. or the inside of ovens! During cleaning, keep sufficient distance from outlets or the like that are installed in the floor. There is a risk of electric shock!

Safety instructions

• Do not use appliance to clean pressurised containers or containers with unknown content. There is a risk of rupture or explosion!
• When appliance is in operation, never leave it unattended. When appliance is in operation, never lay it on its side. Never operate appliance in horizontal position or above head.

• Always use handle to carry the appliance.
• When cleaning, never remain on one spot too long. This may damage the surface.
• Ensure proper ventilation during and after work.

Smooth surfaces

The hot steam settles as moisture film on the cleaned surface. Until this film is dry, there is a risk of slipping and falling.

• Do not enter cleaned surfaces until they are dry.
• Be even more careful when cleaning stairs:

The steps can become slippery due to the steam.

This can result in falls and injuries.

Intended use

Use steam mop only to clean sealed and straight hard floor surfaces (e.g. tiles, stone floors, linoleum and other smooth, sealed surfaces) that can withstand the high temperature, pressure and moisture of the steam.

Any other use is improper and is forbidden.

Safety instructions

In order to prevent injuries, fires and damage, the appliance may not be used to clean:

• People, animals and plants. Always keep mop head away from all body parts, hair and clothing. Do not use near your head.

• Textiles, leather, furniture, walls, counter tops, window panes, unsealed, painted, oiled or waxed wood or ceramic floors, as well as surfaces made of glass, synthetic fibers, soft or glossy plastic.

It is crucial that care instructions of the respective surface manufacturers are followed. If in doubt, contact manufacturer before cleaning with hot steam!

The following use is also prohibited:
