CAUTION! - Steam can loosen weak, cracked, porous or poorly bonded plaster. Check a
small area before starting work. Do not hold the steamplate in one position too long and
stop if plaster starts to break.
PROTECT YOUR HOME- To prevent marks from steam on carpets and soft furnishings it is
recommended the unit be place on a hard flat board. Ensure the unit will not slip or tilt.
Dust sheets and newspapers are not suitable.
Preparation
Gently score the areas to be stripped using a proprietary perforator
tool or the edge of a wall scraper in a criss-cross pattern.
Operation
•
Remove filler cap and fill unit with clean water to the MAX level line indicator. Replace
cap (Fig. 1+2).
•
Screw hose onto threaded outlets of boiler and steamplate, hand-tight is sufficient.
Do not overtighten (Fig. 3+4).
•
Connect supply cord from unit to power socket-outlet and switch on (Fig. 5).
When connecting the cordset to the unit, make sure the flap is fully open and
i
does not prevent the plug being fully inserted. Refer to diagram below.
If the flap touches the ribs on the cordset it may prevent the cordset inserting
fully into the unit.
Flap
•
lt can take up to 15 mins (approx.) before steam is produced - depending on fill water
quantity and temperature (Fig. 7).
•
Do not leave unattended and keep children and pets out of the room.
•
Just before full steam production a small amount of bubbling and water will occur at
the steamplate.
•
Beware of hot water discharge prior to steam emission.
•
Hold the steamplate flat against the wallpaper for approx. 10 seconds - from which
the paper should now easily come away using a wallpaper scraper (Fig. 9).
•
Some papers may need more steam than others. Operate steamer until water level is
low, then unplug unit and allow to cool for at least 2 minutes (Fig. 11).
