2. Safety Information

Please read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before using this appliance to prevent electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

• Electrical Safety: Always ensure the power cord and plug are in good condition. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug. Connect to a properly grounded outlet.
• Hot Steam Hazard: Steam is extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Never direct steam at people, pets, or electrical appliances. Keep hands and face away from the steam nozzle during operation.
• Water Tank Safety: Do not overfill the water tank. Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before refilling or performing maintenance. Never open the boiler cap while the unit is pressurized or hot.
• Child Safety: This appliance is not intended for use by children. Keep the steam cleaner and its cord out of reach of children. Utilize the steam engine lock feature to prevent accidental steam release.
• Surface Compatibility: Test the steam cleaner on an inconspicuous area of the surface to be cleaned before full application, especially on delicate materials or finishes.
• Hose and Accessory Integrity: Regularly inspect the hose and all accessories for signs of wear or damage. If any part appears compromised, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support. A damaged hose can lead to uncontrolled steam release and potential injury.
• Condensed Water: After the machine is stopped or has cooled down, steam condenses into water within the hose and extension tube. When restarted, the nozzle will initially spray this condensed water. This is normal and not a malfunction.
