3.7 Before connecting the appliance

Danger of injury! Check appliance and power cord before each use. A damaged appliance must never be used. ATTENTION: Before starting cleaning, check whether the surface to be cleaned is suitable for steam cleaning. Always follow the cleaning rec- ommendations of the material manufactur- ers. The steam cleaner is definitely not suitable for use on uncoated wood, soft plastics and polished furniture. Cold glass surfaces can shatter as a result of heat shock. Do not work on window panes on cold days! ATTENTION: Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that the voltage stated on the type plate matches the volt- age of your plug socket. Only use sockets with a ground/safety contact. If possible, do not use extension cords. If you must use an extension cord, use only safety-certified, water-protected single extension cords (no multi-socket distributors) designed for the power consumption of the appliance. ATTENTION: Operate the device only with the water tank filled. Although the appliance is fitted with overheating protection, running it without water would shorten the appliance’s service life. NOTE: The steam cleaner has overheating protec- tion. It will switch off automatically if over- heated (e. g. due to an empty water tank). If this happens, pull the mains plug and refill the water tank ZChapter 3.5, "Filling the water tank". Wait for about 45 minutes. Once the steam cleaner has cooled down you can switch it on again. NOTE: Have a microfibre cloth or a cotton cloth ready for follow-up wiping. This serves to absorb water and loosened dirt. NOTE: Provide adequate ventilation during steam cleaning. Otherwise, the increased humidity after cleaning could, in the worst case, cause the formation of mould. Preferably operate the steam cleaner on warm days when the air can absorb more moisture without condensation. M317.book Seite 44 Dienstag, 20. Januar 2015 9:36 0945 4Use
