• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by Homedics; specifically, any attachments not provided with this unit.
• NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.
• DO NOT use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
• NEVER operate the appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water.
• NEVER leave this appliance unattended when plugged in.
• This appliance is not a toy and is not to be used by children.
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used near children or individuals with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could result in fire or personal injury.
• Rest the appliance on a stable surface when placing on its base.
• DO NOT allow the cord to contact heated surfaces. Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool completely before putting away.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact

a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

• DO NOT use an extension cord to operate appliance.
• Surfaces of this appliance are hot when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or skin.
• DO NOT place the steam nozzle directly on any surface or on the appliance power cord while it is hot or plugged in.
• Unplug this appliance before filling or emptying the water.
• DO NOT operate steamer without properly filling the water container with distilled water.
• NEVER yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
• Burns could occur from touching hot parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when removing the water reservoir or when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in reservoir. Always position steamer with head away from you and any other person when turning on.
  • DO NOT hold hand in front of steam.
• To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
• Use caution when installing or removing an attachment as it may contain hot water from condensation. Ensure that the unit is off, and the attachment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact with hot water.
• NEVER steam a garment while it is being worn.
• NEVER use water containing additives.
• When emitting steam, this appliance may cause burns if it is used too close to the skin or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents, test appliance before use by holding it away from the body.
