Dyras STMP-2234 - Manual (Page 4)

Direct and indirect heat (e.g. being too close to an oven or a heating appliance) can cause:
- damage, deformation, softening or melting of plastic and rubber parts,
- deterioration of electrical insulation, resulting in a risk to the user’s safety.
Following the instructions in this manual and avoiding any of the conditions listed above will help
you increase the lifespan of the appliance. The manufacturer is not responsible for any situation
caused by your failure to follow these instructions.
You are also recommended to have the appliance checked regularly by an authorised service
engineer to keep it working for as long as possible.
Please respect the environment when the appliance reaches the end of its life.
Electrical products must not be disposed of with other residential waste because
they can damage the natural world and may be hazardous to human health.
You should dispose of the appliance at an appropriate recycling site or by using
a collection service that specialises in electrical appliances.
• The appliance must not be used or connected to the mains if it is defective, if it has been dropped, if is
working erratically or if the mains cable is damaged. Under these circumstances, stop using the appliance
immediately and take it to an authorised service engineer for checking, repair or adjustment.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. Never touch
the appliance with wet hands. Connect and disconnect the power cable with dry hands only. If any moisture
gets inside the casing of the appliance, immediately stop using it and take it to a service engineer for
checking or repair.
• If the appliance falls into any kind of liquid during use, immediately disconnect it from the mains.
Do not touch it or attempt to remove it from the liquid until the power has been switched off. You must
not use the appliance again before having it checked by an authorised service engineer.
• The mains connector must be always disconnected from the wall socket after use and before cleaning.
Never disconnect the appliance from the socket by pulling the mains cable; always grip the plug!
• Never lay the mains cable beside or across sharp corners or hot surfaces. Never wind the power cable around
the casing of the appliance and do not drag or lift the appliance by the mains cable because the cable could
break or the insulation might be damaged. For the same reason, prevent the power cable from getting
caught under the feet of chairs or other furniture. Use the cable holders to store any excess cable. A damaged
cable should only be replaced by an authorised service engineer. The appliance must not be used or
connected to the mains if the cable is damaged.
• Do not let the cable touch the steam head during use or while cooling.
• Do not lengthen or alter the mains cable of the appliance. If you need a longer cable, you should buy
a standard extension cable from an electrical retailer. The extension should have a protective earth
connection and an electrical rating of at least 10A. (Cables with a lower electrical rating could heat up
during use). Be careful not to create a hazard that you or someone else could trip over.

• If other electric appliances are being operated simultaneously using the same extension cable, their
total power (current) consumption must be calculated to determine the electrical rating requirement
of the extension cable.
• You must not disassemble the appliance, open its casing or to try to repair it. Ignoring this advice could cause
a serious accident. There are no parts in the appliance that can be repaired at home or used for any other
purpose. Only service engineers who have been trained and approved should repair the device. The
manufacturer cannot take any responsibility for unauthorised repairs or for any circumstances resulting from
not following the instructions.
• Do not allow anything to fall into the appliance and do not push anything into any opening on the appliance.
This could cause damage resulting in electric shock.
Warning! Never leave your home - even for a short time - with the appliance turned
on or connected to the mains!
Always turn the appliance off and unplug the mains cable when it is not being used off.
Never operate the steam mop when the water tank is empty. Never add any kind of
detergent, fragrance or other chemicals to the water. Only use pure distilled water to
fill the water tank; tap water could cause the formation of scale, which will result in
damage and failure of the appliance.
• This appliance has been designed to clean smaller floor surfaces in your home. It shouldn’t be used for
cleaning entire buildings or for cleaning large, heavily-soiled floor surfaces – these situations require a heavy
duty cleaning appliance. It is not an industrial cleaner and is not intended for professional use.
• The appliance cannot clean up liquids or wet surfaces. The surface you are cleaning must be dry.
Large quantities of steam leave the steam head when the appliance is being used.
The head of the steam mop must not be turned while in use and must never be
directed at people, pets or plants. Touching the steam head or allowing the steam
to come into contact with skin can cause severe burns. The appliance will remain
hot for a while after it’s been switched off; only touch it when enough time has
passed for the appliance to cool. Be careful when moving the appliance as the tank
may still contain hot water.
• Before using the steam mop, remove small objects and light pieces of furniture from its path. Bumping the
appliance into furniture could cause damage to the appliance and to the furniture. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage caused by carelessness.
• Always straighten the power cable before using the appliance. Do not leave any knots, kinks or loops in
the cable.
• When you stop using the steam mop – even for a short time – always remove the plug from the mains socket
and turn off the steam by rotating the steam flow control clockwise (to CLOSE). The appliance must not be left
unattended even for a short period if it is turned on.
