3.2 Precautionary measures

• Perform regular checks on the power cable, plug and steam suction
hose for damage or signs of wear.
• Do not start the appliance if the steam suction hose or power cable
are damaged.
• Place the appliance on a stable and level surface. Never place it on
warm or hot surfaces. Choose somewhere that is not accessible to child-
ren or pets.
• Do not position the appliance in direct proximity to heat sources (res,
heaters or other heat-emitting objects).
• Position the appliance somewhere with good air circulation to prevent
overheating.
• Never expose the appliance to the weather (rain, snow, frost etc.).
• Never touch the appliance, plug or electrical cables with wet hands
or feet.
• Do not bend, squeeze or run over the steam suction hose.
• Never pull on the power cable or on the appliance itself when discon-
necting the mains plug.
• Protect the power cable from heat sources, steam and oil, and from
damage by avoiding pulling, squeezing or running over the cable.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the
mains.
• To prevent unauthorised use of the appliance, ensure all switches are
off and the power is disconnected during breaks.
• Always disconnect from the mains before cleaning and maintenance
work.
• Only perform maintenance work that is described in the User Manual.
Only use original spare parts and accessories.
• Do not undertake any technical modications on the appliance.
• Never repair or open the appliance yourself. Repairs may only be per-
formed by authorised personnel.
• Take the appropriate precautions when using acidic descaling agents.
Protect sensitive surfaces, especially natural stone and wood, from
spray and droplets.
• Some drops of condensation may form at the start of steam cleaning
– wipe these up with a cloth.
Tipp:
To minimise the occurrence of condensation (caused when the steam
hose and attachments are not at operating temperature) it is recommen-
ded that you allow the steam to ow for a few seconds on the maximum
setting before starting the cleaning work. This ensures the steam hose
and attachments heat up more quickly.
