When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance
before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam button.
• Use steamer only for intended use.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the steamer in water or other liquids.
• Never pull on the cord to disconnect from the electrical outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let steamer cool completely before putting away.
Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
• Always unplug steamer from the electric outlet before filling with water, emptying, or
cleaning, and when not in use.
• Do not operate the steamer with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped
or damaged, or if it is leaking. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
or attempt to repair the steamer; take it to a qualified service person for examination and
repair, or call the appropriate toll-free number in this manual. Incorrect reassembly or repair
could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the steamer is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not
leave the steamer unattended while connected.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when you
turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir. Avoid rapid
POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, in order to avoid a hazard, it should be
replaced by qualified personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
movement of steamer to minimize hot water spillage.
• To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a minimum 10-ampere rated cord should be
used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the
cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not use anything other than water in the steamer while in use or during cleaning.
• Never steam clothing while on a body.
• Never aim the steam directly towards people, animals or plants. The steam is very hot and
can results in burns. Burns can occur from touching hot parts (including the steamer head
and frames), hot water, or steam.
• Never hold the steam head down while at rest or tilt it in a backward position as this may
result in hot water discharge and possibly injury.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliances by a person responsible for
their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The steamer must be used and rested on a stable surface.
