4 Safety: Protective Cut-Out and Pressure Relief
This appliance is designed in such a way that when the water in the tank has
been used up, the thermostat will activate and cut power off to the heating
element thus preventing the appliance from continuing to heat with no water.
The appliance should be immediately switched off and unplugged when there
is no more steam generated.
This appliance is also fitted with a safety pressure relief valve built into the
screw cap. This valve will only release steam in the event that the pressure
increases above the normal operating temperature.
Never use the appliance unless the proper screw cap is fitted.
Should the safety pressure relief valve operate every time the appliance is
used, cease use and have the appliance checked by a qualified service agent
or discard the product.
These safety devices are incorporated for your personal safety.
