vents, check appliance before each use by holding it away from
body and operating steam button.
11. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or in the event
the appliance has been dropped or damaged or there are visible
signs of damage or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble the appliance. Take it to a qualified serviceman
for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly might result in a
risk of electric shock when the appliance is used after reassembly.

13. When placing the appliance on its base, ensure that the surface on
which the steamer is placed is stable.
14. Do not leave the appliance unattended while the appliance is
connected to an electrical outlet.
15. Burns can occur from touching steam holes, hot metal parts, hot
water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steamer upside
