Description of appliance/accessories Steam lever

“Child safety lock” button

► Connect the appliance only to mains power sockets supplying a mains

wer voltage of 220–240 V

/ 50 Hz. ► In the event of operating malfunctions, and before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the plug fr om the mains power socket. ► To disconnect the power cable, always pull the plug from the socket, do not pull the power cable itself. ► Do not kink or crush the power cable, and route the cable so that it cannot be stepped on or tripped over. ► To avoid risks, arrange for defective plugs and/or power cables to be

eplaced at once by qualifi ed technicians or our Customer Service Department. ► Ensure that the power cable does not become wet or moist during use. Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be crushed or damaged. ► Should the appliance, the power cable or the plug become damaged, arrange for them to be repaired by Customer Services to avoid hazardous situations. ► Disconnect the appliance from the mains power socket before fi lling it with w ater, changing accessories or cleaning it. ► Use the appliance only in dry indoor areas, not outdoors. ► Never submerse the appliance in water or other liquids! ► Never aim the steam jet directly at electrical appliances or equipment which contains electrical components, such as the interior of o vens. ► Never leave a heat-generating device unattended! After use or during work pauses, always remove the plug from the mains power socket. The appliance heats up and generates steam pressure continuously when the plug is con- nected to a mains power socket! ► Use the appliance only with dry hands and never without shoes (i.e. not bar efoot). This will help reduce the eff ect of an electric shock in the event of a malfunction. ► Never aim the appliance at moisture-sensitive objects. ► This appliance may be used by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they are under supervision or have been told how to use the appliance safely and are aware of the potential risks. The appliance must not be used as a plaything by children. IB_103808_SDR900A1_LB3.indb 6IB_103808_SDR900A1_LB3.indb 6 10.11.14 08:4610.11.14 08:467 SDR 900 A1

if steam is still exiting the steam nozzle! ► Do not operate the appliance 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 risk of scalding! ► Allow the accessories used to cool down before dismantling them. ► Use only the original accessory parts for this appliance. Other accessories may not meet the safet y requirements. ► The appliance may not be used if it has been dropped, if there are any obvious signs of physical damage or if it is leaking. ► The appliance must be kept out of the reach of children if it is switched on or is cooling do wn. ► Wear gloves, protective glasses and breathing protection equipment when attempting to remove substances that could be hazardous to health. ► Never direct the steam toward people or animals. Hot steam can cause serious injuries! WARNING! RISK OF SCALDING! This symbol warns you about escaping steam. Please follow the safety instructions! CAUTION – PROPERTY DAMAGE! ► Start by carrying out a test on an unobtrusive area to be certain that the material is suitable for cleaning with a steam cleaner , for instance: – Painted/varnished wood or leather can be bleached by steam. – Unprotected wood can swell up. – Protective wax coatings can be dissolved by steam. – Plastics can become tarnished from the eff ects of steam. – Soft plastics can deform when exposed to steam. – Cold glass or mirror surfaces can crack when sprayed with hot steam. ► If you wish to clean windows, you must fi rst preheat them, for instance by applying the steam o ver large areas from a greater distance, then moving in progressively closer. ► Acrylics, velvet and silk react sensitively to hot steam, as do plastic fi bres.
