THE FOLLOWING:
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
BURNS, ELECTROCUTION, FIRE OR
INJURY TO PERSONS:
•Read all instructions before using
•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.
•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 pull 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. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
•Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
•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.
•Return to HoMedics Service Center 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. Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.
•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.
•Never drop or insert any object into any opening or hose.
•Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
•Surfaces of this appliance may be hot when in use. Do not let eyes or bare skin touch heated surfaces.
•Do not place the steam nozzle directly on any surface or on the appliance power cord while it is hot or plugged in. Use the stand provided.
•Unplug this appliance before filling or emptying. Do not overfill.
•Always keep the hose and nozzle elevated above the water container.
•To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
•Do not use an extension cord to operate the appliance. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 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.
•Never pour water directly into reservoir. Pour water in water tank only.
•When changing attachments, please be sure the unit is off and no steam is being released to avoid contact with hot water.
•Use caution when changing attachments as they may contain hot water from condensation. Ensure the attachments are dry or cooled off to avoid contact with hot water.
