mark ('min'). Do not overfill the water container above the maximum water level mark.

• Do not move or tilt the appliance during operation to avoid overflowing of boiling

water. Immediately switch off and unplug the appliance, if water leaks out of the steam-

er base during operation.

• This appliance is for household use only and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles

or outdoors.

Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances

Care must be taken when using any electrical appliance. Please adhere to the following

precautions.

• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage

requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC). Always connect the appliance direct-

ly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) con-

nected properly. The installation of a current safety switch with a maximum rated oper-

ating of 30 mA in the electrical circuit is recommended. If in doubt, contact your elec-

trician for further information.

• Do not use any extension cord or multiple socket to avoid risk of fire or electric shock.

• The appliance is designed for partly unattended operation. Nevertheless, during oper-

ation you should check regularly (every 1/2 hour) the water level in the water contain-

er (between water level mark 'min' and 'max') and ensure that the appliance is operat-

ing properly. Always switch off the appliance and unplug from the power outlet when

not in use and before moving or cleaning the appliance.

• Always handle the power cord with care. The power cord may never be knotted, twist-

ed or squeezed. Do not pull or strain the power cord. Always grasp the plug to discon-

nect the power cord from the power outlet. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge

of the table or counter. Take care not to entangle in the power cord.

• Always use the handles on both sides of the steamer base for moving the appliance.

• Do not immerse the steamer base or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not

spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the steamer base. Never place

the steamer base or power cord in an automatic dishwasher or under a tap. When liq-

uids are spilled on the exterior of the steamer base, immediately switch OFF and unplug

the appliance and dry it.
