Technical Safety

  • This appliance contains R290, a refrigerant that is environmentally friendly but flammable. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit, keep an open frame and ignition sources away from the appliance.

  • If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance is used should correspond to the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 m3 in size for every 8 g of R290 refrigerant inside the appliance.

  • Refrigerant leaking out of the pipes could ignite or cause an explosion.

  • The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate on the appliance.

  • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

  • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

  • Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground prong from the power cord. To prevent personal injury or damage to the appliance, the electrical power cord must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet.

  • This appliance must be plugged into a 220-240 VAC, 50-Hz grounded outlet protected by a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, explosion, or death.

  • This appliance must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Electrical shock can result if the appliance is not properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Failure to follow these instructions can create an electric shock hazard and/or a fire hazard.

  • Install the appliance where the plug is easily accessible. Unplug the appliance when not in use to avoid risk of fire or electric shock.

  • Unplug the appliance before disassembly or repair to avoid risk of electric shock.

  • The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

  • Do not use an extension cord to connect to an outlet. Doing so could result in a fire or electric shock.

  • Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. The power cord can be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.

  • Contact LG or a qualified repair person immediately to repair or replace all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. The power cord can melt, creating electric shock and/or fire hazard.

  • When installing or moving the appliance, be careful not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord. This will prevent injury and damage to the appliance from fire and electric shock.

  • After use, cool down the High pressure handy steamer sufficiently for 5 minutes or more before storing it. Touching the steamer head or the steam hose before it has cooled down sufficiently may result in burns.

  • Pull out the power plug and fill the water tank with water or clean the product.

  • If the product is damaged and the inside of the product is exposed, do not touch the High pressure handy steamer and contact an authorized service centre.
