No responsibility is assumed in case of dam-
age caused by an improper use of the de-
vice. The device is suitable to the current regula-
tions. It can inhale small quantities of liquid. Your
device was designed to clean hard oors which
resist to high temperatures. Do not use on wood-
en unsealed oors and on oors made on non-
enamelled ceramic oors. The action of both heat
and steam could remove the brightness on oors
previously treated with wax. We always recom-
mend to test your device on an isolated area of the
oor before you use it on the whole surface.
Please check the usage and maintenance instruc-
tions given by the producer of your oor.
