1. Important safety guidelines

1.1 Power supply

plate matches the one on your socket before you con-
nect the steam cleaner to your mains power supply.
• Only connect the appliance to a properly earthed
socket.
• The plug on the appliance must fit into the socket.
The plug may not be modified in any way. Do not
use adaptors with appliances that have a protective
earth. Unmodified plugs and appropriate sockets
reduce the risk of an electric shock.

a cable with identical connection values. Send the
appliance to the THOMAS Customer Service Centre
for repair.
• Ensure that the connection values match the ones
on the steam cleaner if using an extension cable.
Aska specialist dealer if necessary.

hazard. It may not be kinked or pinched.
