SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
The environment in which you use your machine must meet basic sa ety requirements
i.e. do not use within range o potentially dangerous chemical vapours.
Machine positioning, environment, and overall workspace are also important actors.
Make sure you leave enough space all round to com ortably manoeuvre the machine.
Working in a tight space leaving little or no room imposes poor working posture, makes
movement di icult, and can create hazardous situations.
For the steam unit to work e iciently the ambient temperature should be between 10°
C and 40°C with humidity lower than 90%.
USE OF DETERGENTS DISCLAIMER

de-scaled at least every six to twelve months.
