FABRIC FRESHENER SAFETY
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
WARNING:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Read all instructions before using the appliance.
■ Do not use in garages or use near any flammable
liquids or gases.
■ Use appliance only for its intended use.
■ To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse
the appliance in water or other liquids.
■ Never yank the cord to disconnect from outlet; instead
grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
■ Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance
cool completely before putting away. When storing
appliance, loop cord around cord storage wrap on
back of appliance.
■ Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if
the appliance has been dropped or damaged. 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.
■ Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used
by or near children.
■ 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.
■ To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
■ To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
■ If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 12-ampere
rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage
may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so
that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
■ Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling
with water, emptying, and when not in use.

INSTRUCCIONES IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD
ADVERTENCIA: Para reducir el riesgo de incendio, electrocución o lesiones a personas al usar el aparato, siga
precauciones básicas, incluyendo las siguientes:
GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES
■ Lea todas las instrucciones antes de usar el aparato.
■ No lo use en garages ni cerca de algún líquido o gas
inflamable.
■ Use el aparato solamente para el uso indicado.
■ Para reducir el riesgo de choque eléctrico, no sumerja el
aparato en agua ni en ningún otro líquido.
■ Nunca jale del cable para desconectarlo del tomacorriente;
en cambio, agarre el enchufe y jale para desconectar.
■ No permita que el cable toque las superficies calientes.
Deje que el aparato se enfríe por completo antes de
guardarlo. Envuelva el cable de modo suelto alrededor del
aparato cuando lo guarde.
■ No haga funcionar el aparato si tiene el cable dañado o si
se ha caído o dañado. Para reducir el riesgo de choque
eléctrico, no desensamble ni intente reparar el aparato.
Llame a un centro de servicio autorizado al número que se
indica en la portada de este manual. El reensamblado o la
reparación incorrectos podrían causar un riesgo de
incendio, choque eléctrico o lesiones a las personas
cuando usen el aparato.
■ Es necesario una supervisión cuidadosa de los niños toda
vez que usen el aparato o que éste se use cerca de ellos.
No deje el aparato sin atenderlo mientras estéconectado.
■ Pueden ocurrir quemaduras al tocar partes de metal
calientes, agua caliente o vapor. Tenga cuidado cuando dé
vuelta un aparato que utilice vapor - es posible que haya
agua caliente en el depósito.
■ Para reducir la posibilidad de una sobrecarga del circuito,
no opere ningún otro aparato de alto vataje en el mismo
circuito que el aparato.
■ Para reducir el riesgo de choque eléctrico, este aparato
tiene un enchufe polarizado (una hoja es más ancha que la
otra). Si el enchufe no encaja por completo en el contacto,
dévuelta el enchufe. Si aún asíno encaja, póngase en
contacto con un electricista competente para instalar el
contacto adecuado. No cambie el enchufe de ninguna
manera.
■ Si un cable de extensión es absolutamente necesario, se
debe utilizar un cable de 12 amperios. Los cables de menor
capacidad pueden sobrecalentarse. Asegúrese de
acomodar el cable de modo tal que no sea posible jalarlo o
tropezarse con él.
■ Siempre desconecte el aparato del tomacorriente cuando lo
llene con agua o cuando lo vacíe, y cuando no lo use.
