ENGLISH (Original instructions)
as high temperature steam can loosen weak, porous or
poorly bonded plaster. Plaster is also loosened more read-
ily in areas of cracks, holes or if the steam plate is held in
one position for too long.
uYou may be able to detect if you have weak plaster by
tapping a few areas of the walls with your knuckles. If this
produces a hollow sound, we recommend proceeding only
with extreme care.
uIn all cases test out the wallpaper stripper on a small area,
about 100 cm2 , before starting work properly.
uIf at any stage nishing plaster is loosened or you hear a
crack, do not continue. The wallpaper stripper is safe for
drywall/plaster board surfaces.
uDue to the heat generated by this product, it is possible
that certain surfaces, ie. carpets, soft furniture, table tops,
cabinets etc., could be marked or damaged. To prevent
this, ensure a wooden board or other barrier is placed
under the boiler to prevent the heat damaging the surface.
Dust sheets or newspapers are not adequate for this
purpose.
uFor best results, remove wallpaper with a scraper. Scrape
off wallpaper in a downward direction (g. F).
uAlways wear protection when removing wallpaper from the
ceiling. Be careful of condensation collecting in the steam
plate as hot water may drip (g. G and H). Empty the
steam plate regularly and never use directly above your
head.
uAlways place the steam plate in a suitable container when
left unattended, even for a few seconds, and keep the
steam plate facing away from you when in use (g. I and
J).
Storage
uAllow the appliance to cool for at least 10 minutes.
uEmpty the appliance.
uStore the appliance upright in a dry place.
