Do not use abrasive sponges or aggressive detergents for cleaning operations:
refer to the following chapter for complete requirements.
Cleaning operations must be carried out taking care to disconnect the appliance
from the power supply: refer to the following chapter for the relevant requirements.
The appliance must be connected to a compliant electrical system. The electrical
system must have a power rating equal to or greater than that of the appliance and
must be earthed.
Before connecting the plug of the power cord to the socket, make sure that the
voltage of your household installation corresponds to the voltage indicated on the
appliance.
Do not connect the appliance to extension cords, power strips, multi-socket strips,
timers, controlled sockets or other devices that can start it up independently.
If the appliance is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, it is advisable to
unplug the power cord from the socket: this will extend the life of the appliance and
help reduce energy consumption.
Do not disconnect the power supply by pulling on the cord: grasp the plug firmly
with one hand, place the other hand on the frame of the electrical outlet and
disconnect with a quick, sharp movement.
Before disconnecting the appliance, make sure that it is switched off, unless you
need to disconnect it in an emergency situation due to abnormal behaviour as
described in this chapter.
The appliance must be kept out of the reach of children under 8 years of age; in
any case make sure that it is not used for play.
If the appliance is used by children, even if they are over 8 years old, or by persons
with reduced cognitive, sensory or motor skills, they must be instructed about the
dangers of incorrect use of the appliance and it must be guaranteed that the
information has been correctly and fully understood. Adequate supervision must
however be ensured.
Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of liquid accumulations or sources, such as
swimming pools, tanks, tubs, showers, sinks, other sanitary fixtures, faucets, pipes,
sprinklers, bottles, storage vessels, expansion vessels, watercourses, flowerpots and
similar. Do not place containers holding liquids on top of the appliance; make sure that
the power cord or electrical plug is never submerged.
Do not use the appliance with wet hands.
Do not move the appliance by tugging on the cord.
The garments must be hung damp and not soaked: excessively wet garments
render the appliance ineffective, and its use superfluous. If necessary, remove some
of the moisture by subjecting the garments to a spin cycle or shaking them off outside.
