2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or  
other liquids.  
3. If unit falls into water, immediately unplug power cord. Do not reach into the  
water.

placed in the 120V position. CONFIRM the voltage available at each location  
before using the steamer.  
Note: For connection to a 240V supply, use of a country specific adaptor  
plug may be needed.
