IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock or injury, the following basic
safety precautions should always be followed when using an electrical appliance.
WARNING: Before plugging unit into electrical outlet, be sure all electrical
information on the rating label agrees with your power supply.
DANGER: Any appliance is electrically live even when switched Off. To reduce
risk of electrical shock:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or
other liquids.
3. If unit falls into water, immediately unplug power cord. Do not reach into the
water.
4. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check
appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam
button.
5. Use appliance only for its intended use.
6. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
7. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before
putting away.
8. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying, and when not in use.
9. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been

ENGLISH |5
dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassem-
ble or attempt to repair the appliance, take it to a qualified service person for
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used.
10. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near chil-
dren. Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.
11. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use
care when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water
in the reservoir.
12. For use in the U.S.A., the Dual Voltage Switch should be placed in the 120
volt position. For use in several other countries, the Dual Voltage Switch may
need to be placed in the 240 volt position. Confirm the voltage available at
each location before using the appliance. For connection to a 240 volt sup-
ply, use a suitable attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for
the power supply receptacle.
13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair
the appliance, take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair.
Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when the appliance is used.
Be sure Dual Voltage Switch is in correct voltage position before operat-
ing. Before plugging in, read the information about dual voltage operation
contained in this manual.

Setting Voltage
The Essential Fabric Steamer features dual-voltage functionality, which al-
lows it to function correctly in regions with either 100-120V or 220-240V elec-
trical voltage standards. Voltage is set using the Dual Voltage Switch.
For use in Canada or North America, the Dual Voltage Switch should be
placed in the 120V position. CONFIRM the voltage available at each location
before using the steamer.
Note: For connection to a 240V supply, use of a country specific adaptor
plug may be needed.
WARNING: By default, the Dual Voltage Switch is set to the 120V setting.
Be sure to select the correct voltage for your location before plugging power
cord into electrical outlet.
To change the voltage setting:
1. Locate Dual Voltage Switch, located on the bottom of
the unit.
2. Find a tool with a fine tip – a pen can be used.
3. Carefully insert tip of pen into notch. Slide Dual Volt-
age Switch to the correct setting. Be sure Dual Voltage
Switch is secure in the position you have selected.
