Test the appliance on a concealed area. Information on the power supply The appliance is operated with electrical current. Thus there is always a risk of electrical shock. You must therefore observe the following: Never point the steam jet at appliances that contain electronic components, like the inside of an oven. Keep the steam jet away from mains sockets and the power cord. Do not allow mains sockets and power cord to come in contact with heat or steam. Otherwise, the power cord may be damaged, which can lead to electric shock. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Fill the dual tank only after cleaning is completed and plug is pulled. Ensure that other parts of the appliance remain dry. Pull the plug from the mains socket after use and before maintenance.

Never pull on the power cord. Make sure that the power cord is not kinked, trapped or run over, does not come into contact with heat sources or become a trip hazard. Always check the power cord for possible damage before using the appliance. Do not use an appliance with a defective cord or plug. If you need an extension cord, use only saf- ety-certied, water-protected single extension cords (no multi-socket distributors) designed for the high power consumption of the appliance.
