Unplug it from socket when not in use. To prevent electric shock do not use outdoors. Not to be used as a toy. Close supervision is necessary when used near children or the infirm. Use only as described in this manual. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water. Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a recommended Service Agent to avoid hazard and invalidating the guarantee. Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, allow the cord to come into contact with hot or sharp surfaces or close a door on the cord. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. Do not handle the plug or steam cleaner with wet hands. Do not put any objects into openings or operate with openings blocked. Do not use without the tank cap in place. Turn off all controls before unplugging. Keep the steam cleaner on the floor. Do not use an extension cord. Do not attempt to remove blockages with sharp objects as they may cause damage. Store indoors, put away after use to prevent tripping accidents. Using improper voltage may result in damage to the steam cleaner and possible injury to the user. The correct voltage is listed on the rating label. This steam cleaner is intended for household use only. A hazard may occur if the steam cleaner runs over the power supply cord.

The steam cleaner is not suitable for outdoor use. Do not operate the steam cleaner without water in
