Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to
the voltage stated on the product rating label and your wall socket is earthed.
• No extension cord: Do not use an extension cord or electrical outlet with
inadequate current-carrying capacity.
• Water: To protect against fire and electric shock, do not immerse the cord,
plug or the appliance itself in water or other liquid, or expose the electrical
connections to water or other liquid. Keep it away from water; do not allow it
to get wet. If the product is wet, do not plug it into a wall socket or turn it on.
Do not handle the steam mop with wet hands.
• Power cord: Do not kink, squash or damage the cord and protect it from sharp
edges and heat. Do not let it touch hot surfaces. Do not pull or carry the mop
by the cord; do not close a door on the cord. Run the cord in such a way that
there will be no risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently or tripping over it.
• Do not use if damaged: Check the appliance and cord before every use to
ensure that it is undamaged and safe to operate. Do not pick up or operate
the appliance if the power supply cord, plug or housing is damaged. Do not
use the appliance after it malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in
any manner, or if it has been left outside or dropped into water.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device, we
recommend installing a safety switch with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using
electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
• Damaged cord: A damaged cord or plug must be replaced by the
manufacturer or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. In case of
damage, contact our after sales support centre for advice.
