Do not insert anything into the openings of the device and make sure that these do not become clogged. ■ Do not connect the device along with other consumers (with a high wattage) to a multiple socket in order to prevent overloading and a possible short circuit (fi re). NOTE – Risk of Damage to Material and Property ■ The device should only be used if it is in full working order and has been completely assembled. ■ Before you fi rst use it, ensure that the material which is to be treated is suitable for steam cleaning (note the information from the manufacturer!). You should also test the device fi rst on an inconspicuous spot. ■ Very cold glass surfaces (windows in winter) must not be cleaned with the device. They may shatter if they come into contact with hot steam. ■ Never direct the steam on one spot for longer than around 10 seconds. This may damage the surface. ■ Make sure that the mains cable is not squashed, bent or laid over sharp edges and does not come into contact with hot surfaces. Do not wrap the mains cable around the device (danger of the cable breaking). ■ Never pull or carry the device by the mains cable. When the mains plug is removed from the plug socket, always pull on the mains plug and never the mains cable! ■ Never operate the device without water. ■ Protect the device from heat, naked fl ames, direct sunlight, sub-zero temperatures, strong temperature fl uctuations, persistent moisture and wet conditions. ■ Do not place any heavy objects on the device, the mains plug, the mains cable or the accessories.
