INSTALLATION
• After removing the packing materials, check the integrity of the appliance; if you are unsure, do not
use it and ask for qualified professional help. The packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene
foam, nails, etc.) must be kept out the reach of children because they are potential sources of
danger; but dispose of them in accordance with current law.
• Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage shown on the data plate matches that of
your electricity. In the event of incompatibility between the electric outlet and the plug of the
appliance, have the outlet replaced with another more suitable type by professionally qualified
personnel, who will make sure that the section of the wires of the outlet is appropriate for the
absorbed power of the appliance. In general, the use of adapters or extension cords is not
recommended; if their use is indispensable, they must conform to existing safety standards and
their current capacity (amperes) must not be less that the maximum of the appliance.
• Make sure that the plug point of the extension or multiplug adapter that the adaptor is connected to
cannot come into contact with water: should it get wet, first remove the power to the extension at
the distribution board, and only thereafter remove the plug from the plug point. Dry both the
adapter and the plug thoroughly and only then restore power to the plug point.
• Stand the appliance on a horizontal, flat surface or table; do not stand on a inclined plane (the
appliance could upset.
• Make sure that the cable is correctly positioned, that it is not touching hot elements or sharp edges,
is not wound around the utensil, is not twisted up on itself or in the way to prevent the utensil from
being pulled over. Check that you cannot trip over to prevent accidental falls or harm to persons.
• The appliance must not be positioned immediately under a socket.
• The power socket must be easy to reach so the plug can be removed quickly in case of emergency.
• Place the appliance away from sources of heat (stoves, fan heaters, etc.), carpets, parquet floors, ,
electric appliances (such as computers, precision instruments, etc. ..), curtains, upholstery or
delicate furniture that could be damaged by contact with water or steam. The support surface must
be water-resistant and there must be at least 50 cm of free space around the appliance because
water vapour can be deposited on objects that could be damaged. Make sure that the steam is not
directed against a wall, which could be damaged.
• Make sure the cable is positioned correctly and that it is not wrapped around the appliance or
twisted around itself and not entangled, in order to avoid the falling over of the device. Make sure
that no one can trip, to avoid accidental falling or injury. However, verify that the cord is not
placed under the carpets.
• The support surface must be stable, wide (not on a shelf) and not sloping (because the appliance
could tip over).
• The plug must be easily accessible so that it can be easily removed in case of emergency. It is
recommended that the appliance be placed at a certain distance (at least 50cm) from the power
source and at a certain height off the floor. This is to prevent any water spillages from wetting the
plug point and the adaptor.
• Make sure that the appliance is working correctly: if not, turn off the appliance and have it checked
by professionally-qualified personnel.
• In the case of a breakdown or fault, switch off the appliance and have it checked by a
professionally qualified technician; repairs made by unqualified persons can be dangerous and
render void the warranty.
• When first using the appliance, clean and wash the tray, lid and filter: see paragraph on "Cleaning
and Maintenance".
• Do not use the appliance with a timer or a programmer or with a system that can switch on the
appliance automatically, to avoid risk of fire, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or
positioned incorrectly.
