Ambient conditions
The unit may only be operated:
en
• Indoors,
• Up to an altitude of 2,000 m above sea level
• At an ambient temperature of between 5 - 35 ºC [41 - 95 ºF] *)
• At a maximum relative humidity of 80 % at 31 ºC [87�8 ºF], decreasing linearly to 50 % relative humidity
at 35 ºC [95 ºF] *)
• With mains power where the voltage fluctuations do not exceed 10 % of the nominal value
• Under contamination level 2 conditions
• Under over-voltage category II conditions
*) At between 5 - 30 ºC [41 - 86 ºF], the unit can be operated at a humidity of up to 80 %� At temperatures between
31 - 35 ºC [87�8 - 95 ºF], the humidity must decrease proportionally in order to ensure operational readiness (e�g�,
at 32 ºC [90 ºF] = 65 % humidity, at 35 ºC [95 ºF] = 50 % humidity)� The unit may not be operated at temperatures
above 35 ºC [95 ºF]�
The following ambient conditions must be observed during storage and transport:
• Ambient temperature of -20 – +60 ºC [-4 – +140 ºF]
• maximum relative humidity 80 %

Hazard and warning information
2.4.1
General information
► If the unit is not used in accordance with the supplied operating instructions, the intended safety
can no longer be guaranteed.
► The unit may only be operated using a power cord equipped with a plug appropriate to the local
power supply. Any necessary modifications must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
► Only operate the unit if the information on the nameplate corresponds to the specifications of
your local mains power supply.
► The unit may only be plugged into electrical sockets that are connected to the protective conduc-
tor system.
► The power plug must be easily accessible.
► Disconnect the unit from the mains power supply before carrying out work on the electrical parts.
► It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that national regulations are complied with during
operation and regarding recurring safety inspection of electrical equipment. In Germany, these are
DGUV Regulation 3 in conjunction with VDE 0701-0702.
► Check connection cables (such as power cords), tubes and housing (such as the key pad) regu-
larly for damage (such as kinks, cracks and porosity) or signs of ageing.
Do not operate equipment with damaged connection cables, tubes or housing parts or other de-
fects!
► Defective equipment must be taken out of service immediately. Disconnect the power plug and
secure the equipment against further use. Send the equipment in for repair!
► Only operate the equipment under supervision.
► Please observe the national accident prevention regulations!
► Information on REACH and SVHC is available on our website at www.renfert.com, in the Support
area.
2.4.2
Specific information
► Caution: Danger of burns!
During operation, high temperatures are present at the lid of the tank and the filler opening, at the
upper cover of the unit, at the steam outlet nozzle, and at the service opening on the side.
► If steam is used for extended periods, the handpiece and the steam hose can become extremely
hot!
► In the case of improper use, there is a danger of scalding due to hot steam!
► Do not open the tank cap or the cap of the service opening while the pressure tank is still pressur-
ized. Danger of scalding due to hot steam or hot water!
► Place the unit so that there is no risk if steam is discharged from the outlet opening of the over-
pressure valve (14, Fig. 1).
► When operating on a base (e.g., a sink), its edge may not be higher than 20 mm (approx. 3/4").
► The tank cap must be properly closed during operation.
► POWER steamer 2: Turn off the water supply after work has been completed.
► Check the sealing of the tank cap and the service cap regularly for damage. Replace damaged
sealing.
► Do not direct the steam at people.
