PREPARATION
To achieve fastest paper removal always
gently score the areas to be stripped. With
heavily embossed, vinyl-coated or painted
papers this is essential. Either use a
proprietary perforator tool or alternatively score
the paper with the edge of a wall scraper in a
criss-cross pattern with 150mm (6 inch)
spacing. As with all decorating work be sure to
protect carpets and furniture with covers.
IF THE
PLASTER ON
YOUR WALL IS
NOT SOUND IT
IS POSSIBLE
THAT THE
STEAM WILL
CAUSE THIS TO
BLOW AND

CHECK THAT THE PLASTER IS SOUND
BEFORE YOU PROCEED.
OPERATION
WARNING! STEAM IS HOT! The unit is
designed for safe, fast removal of wallpaper but
you must be aware that steam is produced at
212˚F (100˚C) so be careful, wear protective
clothing and protect your hands with
heat-resistant gloves or mitts.
Place the unit on a flat surface near to the
area to be stripped. Remove the steamplate.
FULLY UNCOIL the hose and mains lead.
Connect the thread on the steamplate to the end
of the hose. This only needs to be hand tight. DO
NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
If the steamplate is fitted with a metal swivel
joint, tighten hose nut to thread using two
spanners. The steamplate can remain
permanently attached to the hose thereafter.
To fill the unit, remove the filler cap and fill to the
MAX water level as shown on the glass panel at
the end of the tank. This must be clean water,
preferably hot. DO NOT USE ADDITIVES - DO
NOT OVERFILL.
Connect the mains
lead from the unit to
the socket-outlet and
switch on. The mains
switch on the unit
has a neon light and
will light when the
unit is on. It will take
between 25 and 35 minutes for the unit to start
producing steam depending on the temperature
of the water used. DO NOT LEAVE
UNATTENDED.
Once steam is being produced at the steam
plate you are ready
to commence
operation.
Prior to the steam
being produced a
small amount of
bubbling will occur
at the steamplate.
WARNING!
Beware of hot
water discharge
prior to steam emission. When the steam has
been produced, lift the steam plate above the
level of the tank outlet to allow
condensed steam to run back down the hose
and into the tank.
If you are right-handed hold the steamplate in
your left hand and place flat against the wall
where you wish to commence removing.
Leave the steamplate against the wall for
approximately 10 seconds. If you are left
handed you may find it easier to operate with the
other hand.
Move the steamplate to the section
immediately next to where you have just been
working and use a wallpaper scraper to remove
the section that has just been steamed. By
working in this way you should be able to
remove paper continually. You may have to
leave the steamplate against the wall for longer
periods with some papers or re-steam if not
completely removed.
The water level is shown through the glass level
indicator and should not be allowed to fall below
MIN. Switch the unit
off when this level has
been reached.
If you require further
use of the steamer,
allow the unit to cool
for a minimum of 5
minutes. Remove the
filler cap carefully.
Beware of STEAM! Refill to the level
indicator as before and follow the above
instructions.
YOU MUST NEVER ALLOW THE UNIT TO
BOIL DRY
