IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN

CHILDREN ARE PRESENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE

FOLLOWING:

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS,

ELECTROCUTION, FIRE OR INJURY TO PERSONS:

• Readallinstructionsbeforeusing.

• Toreducetheriskofcontactwithhotwateremittingfromsteamvents,checkappliance

beforeeachusebyholdingitawayfromyourbodyandoperatingunit.

• Useapplianceonlyforitsintendeduse.

• Toreducetheriskofelectricshock,donotimmersetheapplianceinwaterorotherliquids.

• Neverpullcordtodisconnectfromoutlet;instead,graspplugandpulltodisconnect.

• Donotallowcordtotouchhotsurfaces.Letappliancecoolcompletelybeforeputtingaway.

Loopcordlooselyaroundappliancewhenstoring.

• Alwaysdisconnectappliancefromelectricaloutletwhenfillingwithwateroremptying,and

whennotinuse.

• Donotoperateappliancewithadamagedcord,oriftheappliancehasbeendroppedor

damaged.Toreducetheriskofelectricshock,donotdisassembleorattempttorepairthe

appliance.

• ReturntoHoMedicsServiceCenterforexaminationandrepair.Incorrectreassemblyorrepair

couldcauseariskoffire,electricshock,orinjurytopersonswhentheapplianceisused.

• Alwayskeepthehoseandnozzleelevatedabovethewatercontainer.

• Toreducelikelihoodofcircuitoverload,donotoperateanotherhighwattageapplianceon

thesamecircuit.

• Donotuseanextensioncordtooperatetheappliance.Ifanextensioncordisabsolutely

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified

electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether

the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug

provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, you may

temporarily use an adapter (such as the one shown in Figure

B) until you have a proper outlet (such as the one shown in

Figure C) installed by a qualified electrician.
