How to use?
As for the rules of application and any one general instruction, this does not happen. Each household appliance is unique. Its work technology, technical parameters are different from each other. If you want your "home assistant" to last as long as possible, be sure to read the instructions before use or consult a sales assistant when buying.
A good manufacturer provides information on how to use the appliance correctly. Even if you already had, for example, a steam generator, and you know how to use it, but bought a new model, do not rush - read the instructions. And remember: if the device fails because it has been improperly operated, there can be no guarantee of any kind.
