7.3 Assembling the connecting cable
 Connect the connecting cable to the connector of the device and connect the mains plug
to the wall socket. The water will now begin to heat and after approximately 10-15
minutes, steam will be released from the steam plate.
8 OPERATION
 Place the steam plate directly onto the wallpaper and hold for 10-20 seconds depending
on the type of wallpaper. Move the steam plate to another section of the wall and remove
the wallpaper by using a wallpaper scraper.
Please note: When waiting for the steam to appear and when putting the
steam plate down during use, always place it on its back. This will prevent
the steam coming into contact with anything that may be damaged. Some
water may spit from the steam plate. However, this is quite normal and will
not affect the performance of your unit.
 Certain wall coverings such as waterproof or painted can be difficult to remove. In this
case it is recommended to perforate the wallpaper allowing the steam to penetrate and
dissolve the adhesive. When removing vinyl wallpapers, first pull off the outer vinyl layer
and then apply the wallpaper steam stripper to the backing paper.
 The wallpaper steam stripper can also be used to remove wall coverings on ceilings.
However, be careful, as condensed hot water may collect in the steam plate. Take care
when removing the steam plate so as not to spill this water onto yourself or anyone else.
For the ecologically beneficial elimination of weeds hold the steam plate
over the spot to be treated for 2-3 minutes.
 Always unplug the mains lead and wait 3 minutes before removing the filler cap and
refilling with water.
If the unit is not switched oft with empty watertank the safety cut out will
operate. This is a safety device to protect the unit from overheating.
 An additional feature is the safety valve. Should excess pressure build up inside the water
tank, steam will automatically be released through the safety valve. This may be caused
by the hose being shut off by standing on it or by placing a ladder on it.
However, should the safety valve not operate for any reason, send the unit
back for reparation
 Once you have finished using your wallpaper steam stripper, switch off at the mains and
leave for a few minutes until the unit has cooled down. Before storing, ensure that all
water has been emptied from the water tank.
WARNING! Refill boiler every 75 minutes. Do not go under the minimum
level. Do not re-fill while the boiler is pressurised!
