  • Do not connect the appliance to a direct power supply.
  • Always entrust the appliance to a Gecko-Steamer Authorized Service Center for repair or inspection. Never attempt to repair the appliance yourself; any unauthorized intervention will void the warranty.
  • If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an Authorized Service Center or a qualified technician to prevent any accident.
  • Never leave the appliance unattended while it is plugged in.
  • This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years and over, by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or by persons lacking experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised or have received instructions on the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved.
  • When you have finished steaming, when filling or emptying the water tank, when cleaning or rinsing the appliance, or whenever you leave it unattended even briefly, unplug it from the mains.
  • Keep the appliance and power cord out of the reach of children.
  • Make sure children do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by unsupervised children.
  • Only plug the appliance into a grounded wall outlet.
  • Do not open the drain plug while the appliance is switched on. Before opening it, follow the cooling-time recommendation in the user manual.

Warning

  • Do not place the appliance on a surface with the steamer head in contact with that surface while the appliance is hot or plugged into the mains.
  • During operation, make sure the power cord does not come into contact with hot steam.
  • Keep the water tank closed after filling it and while using the appliance.
  • The plug must be connected to a power outlet with matching electrical specifications.
  • Never pull on the power cord to move or unplug the appliance.

  • The clothes steamer is intended solely for vertical steaming; its use must not be modified in any way.

Caution

  • Regularly check the condition of the power cord.
  • Beware of hot steam and hot water escaping from the steam nozzle during use. Steam and hot water can cause burns. Use the appliance with care because it emits steam.
  • The end of the steamer head can become very hot and may therefore cause burns if touched.
  • Unplug the appliance during filling and cleaning.
  • Do not place the steamer base on a table or chair; place it on the floor during use.
  • If the hose forms a U-shape, steam may condense inside it. This can cause irregular steam flow or water droplets to come out of the steamer head.
  • Do not use the appliance when the water tank is empty.

Water & use

Which water to use

Demineralized water is ideal if it is specifically produced for steam appliances.

Distilled water should be avoided. Its acidity can be harmful to the metals and seals in your appliance. It must be mixed with non-acidic water.

Tap water can be used. If your water is hard, plan regular rinsing according to the intensity of use. Excessive limescale deposits can stain garments and cause malfunctions.
