CEILINGS
Please note: While using the steam plate on the ceiling the unit will expel a small amount of water out of the base of the
unit from the vacuum pump exhaust hose onto the surface below. Ensure that all floor surfaces are protected by dust
sheets or plastic.
Please ensure that the hose is unclipped from the steam plate handle when working on the ceiling,
as shown. This will enable the hose to hang vertically and make sure the steam plate remains in
position.
1. If you are right handed, hold the steam plate in your left hand and place flat against the ceiling where
you wish to commence removing the Artex ® /paper.
2. Leave the plate on the ceiling for a maximum of 10 seconds. The length of time will depend on the type
of covering you are removing.
3. If you are left handed you may find it easier to operate with the other hand.
4. Move the steam plate to the section immediately next to where you have just been working and use a
wallscraper to remove the section that has just been steamed.
5. Empty the ceiling waste water tank when it starts to become full. It holds a total of 500ml of water and
in 78 minutes should only require emptying once if a full tank is used.
6. By working in this way you should be able to remove Artex ® /paper continuously.
7. You may have to leave the plate on the ceiling for longer periods or re-steam if not completely removed.
8. Operate the steamer until steam is no longer produced (there is a safety cut-out when water level gets too low), switch off the
vacuum and leave for a minimum of 2 minutes before refilling. Allow to cool completely before packing away.
