• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

• Unplug the unit when not in use. Allow it to cool down before handling or cleaning.

• Keep the appliance away from heated surfaces.

• IMPORTANT! Always operate the appliance on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Make sure that there is enough ventilation, so that hot steam can be released safely during use.

The following MUST NOT be dried with the ANKO S5 shoe dryers due to the risk of a fire or an explosion:

• Shoes that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil, cooking oil, suntan oil, linseed oil, salad oil, lubrication oil or grease. Oil affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as shoe dryers. If it is unavoidable that shoes contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products to be dried, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.

• Shoes that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals used only for cleaning, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances are highly flammable. This includes acetone, (nail polish remover) denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials. Foam rubber materials can produce fire by spontaneous combustion when heated.

• For your safety, and to reduce the risk of fire or an explosion, DO NOT store or use petrol or other inflammable vapours and liquids near the shoe dryers.

• After unpacking the appliance, check for transport damage and that all the parts mentioned in the manual are present. In the event of damaged or missing parts, return the product to Kmart.
