Salton SFS800 Instruction Manual - page 3
Read these instructions before use and keep them safe. If you pass the steamer
on, pass on the instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you’re
satisfied the steamer is working.
Important safeguards
Take basic safety precautions, including:
1.Don’t put the mains lead, plug, or base unit in water or any
other liquid. Don’t use the steamer in a bathroom or near any
source of water, and don’t use it outdoors.
2.The steamer should be used by or under the direct supervision of
a responsible adult.
3.Don’t put frozen meat or poultry in the steamer — defrost fully
before use.
4.Fill the reservoir at least to the Min mark, but not above the Max mark. If
you overfill, it may spit boiling water and you may damage the steamer.
5.Fill the reservoir with boiling water, not cold water, otherwise the food may
not cook properly.
6.Don’t touch the hot surfaces of the base unit, lid, baskets, rice bowl, or
diffuser.
7.Use oven gloves or a cloth when lifting the lid, baskets, diffuser, or rice
bowl, and lift them only by the handles.
8.Don’t reach over the top of the steamer. Steam will escape from the vents,
the baskets, and the base unit.
9.Keep hands, arms, face, etc. clear of steam from the vents, and when
lifting the lid, baskets, diffuser, or rice bowl,
10.Position the steamer on a firm, level, heat resistant surface, close to a
power socket, and out of reach of children.
11.Route the mains lead so that it doesn’t overhang and can’t be tripped over
or caught accidentally.
12.Don’t use the steamer near or below curtains, shelves, or cupboards, as the
escaping steam may damage them.
13.Don’t line the baskets with paper, foil, etc. — you’ll block the steam holes.
14.Don’t cover the steamer during use.
15.Keep the steamer and the mains lead away from hotplates, hot hobs and
burners.
16.Unplug the steamer when not in use, before moving and before cleaning,
and let it cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
17.Don’t use accessories or attachments other than those we supply.
18.Don’t use the steamer for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.
19.Don’t use the steamer if it’s damaged or malfunctions. If the mains lead or
plug is damaged, the steamer must be returned in order to avoid hazard.
