2.2 Re: Certain groups of persons
„
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above

2.3 Re: Hot steam and hot parts of the appliance
„
Never direct the steam jet at persons, animals or plants. There is a
danger of scalding. Always point the steam jet downwards towards the
surface to be cleaned. Even then, take care that parts of your body never
get into the steam jet. Never lay the steam pistol on its side when it's
running.
„
Do not direct the steam jet at electrical appliances, plug sockets,
cables, etc. There is a risk of electric shock.
„
The appliance produces steam under pressure for cleaning purposes.
Even after you have switched off the appliance, hot steam will be available
for approx. 20 more minutes. This may escape, e.g. when the steam trigger
is pulled accidentally. So, release excess steam right after switching off by
pulling the steam trigger.
2.4 Re: Power supply
„
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands. Always pull directly at the
plug if you want to disconnect the appliance from the mains. Never pull on
the cable as this could damage it.
„
Never carry the appliance by its power cord. Take care that the power
cord is not bent, pinched, rolled over or gets in contact with heat sources.
Also take care that it does not become a stumbling-hazard.
„
If possible, avoid using extension cords. If you must use an extension
cord, use only safety-certified, water-protected single extension cords (no-
multi-socket distributors) designed for the power consumption of the
appliance.
2.5 Re: Appropriate Use
„
Only use the steam cleaner to clean normally dirty smooth surfaces that
can withstand the high temperature, pressure and moisture of hot steam.
„
Used with due care and skill, the steam cleaner can also be used to
refresh carpets, drapes, clothing, etc.

especially forbidden:
„
To use the appliance near explosive or easily flammable substances or
on pressurized containers. There is a risk of fire or explosion or of the

agents, etc.). Additives can be dangerous to your health or destroy the
