IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1) Read these instructions carefully.
2) When in use, the appliance contains pressurized steam: improper use could result
in serious hazards. This appliance is intended for domestic use only, and must be
used in accordance with the operating instructions contained in this booklet. The
manufacturer disclaims all liability for damage deriving from the improper use of
the appliance.
3) Always disconnect the appliance from mains when filling up the water chamber or before any
maintenance or care operation.
4) Before use, check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated in the ratings plate on
the bottom part of the appliance.
5) Connect your cleaner only to power outlets with a minimum of 10 amps making sure the outlet is
earthed.
6) Do not aim the steam jet at mains outlets, live wires, or other electrified
elements, which could result in damage and electric shock.
7) Do not aim the steam jet to the appliance itself.
8) Do not tug at the power cord or the appliance itself, to disconnect from mains.
9) Do not run the appliance over the power cord as this may damage the insulation.
10)NEVER OPEN THE CAP BEFORE ALL THE WATER IN THE CHAMBER HAS BEEN
USED. This is indicated by the lack of steam output from the iron or other accessories. To refill,
disconnect from mains and wait about 15 min to avoid sudden changes in temperature, then place a
cloth over the cap and twist slowly to open, allowing any residual steam to escape.
11)Always disconnect all electrically operated appliances (hobs, ovens,
refrigerators, hoods, etc) before steam cleaning. Wait until completely dry before
reconnecting, as any residual moisture could result in shock hazard.
12) Avoid skin contact with steam. High temperature may cause serious burns. Do not aim the water or
steam jet at people or animals and do not use on surfaces or objects with a low resistance to the
machine’s operating temperature.
13) When using the machine, hold it by its handle only: it contains a steam-generator water chamber
whose surface heats up during normal use. Users who are particularly sensitive to heat or suffer
from heat-sensitive disorders should take particular care when handling this appliance.
14) Do not add detergents or other cleaning agents to the water in the chamber. Use plain water only.
15) Before storing the machine for long periods, check that there is no water in the water chamber.
16) Do not leave the iron on any flat surface without using the special mat.

this case, the appliance can only be re-activated by qualified service personnel.
22) Do not expose the appliance to rain or moisture. Keep out of direct sunlight.
23) For all repairs, always contact your Dealer and have your appliance serviced at an authorized
Technical Service Centre: Always use original spare parts and accessories so as to maintain the
appliance in good working order and not invalidate the guarantee.
