Check the state of your plaster before starting work. Steam can lessen weak, porous or poorly bonded
plaster –which can also loosen readily if cracked, holed or if the steam plate is held in one position for
tool long after the paper is soaked. Weak plaster can normally be detached by tapping a few areas of
wall. A hollow sound indicates that you should proceed only with extreme care –stopping immediately
if you hear a cracking sound or plaster starts to break loose. The wallpaper stripper is safe for
drywall/plaster board surfaces but whatever the material, it is always wise to check a small area before
starting work properly.
⚠If the appliance is used in bathrooms, washrooms or any other damp rooms, please
keep in mind that the IPX0 plug cannot be used in Zone 0 (IPX7, Zone 1 (IPX4) and Zone 2
(IPX4) according to HD 60364-7-701:2007, unless the plug and socket outlet are protected
by an enclosure with at least IPX4 protection degree. Keep the plug at least 60cm away
from water points and make sure that the plug can never fall into water.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Please refer to the instructions below in regards to cleaning and maintaining your product.
To maintain optimum performance of
the unit, particularly in areas of hard
water, it may be necessary to descale the
element in the unit. Proprietary kettle
descaling products can be used in the
unit –always follow the manufactures
instructions properly.
Always ensure that the appliance is
stored upright, in a place away from any
flammable liquids or gases.
Ensure that the appliance is completely
dry before storing.
Always ensure that the appliance is
unplugged and completely cool before
emptying the tank, or performing any
cleaning or maintenance.
Only use a damp cloth whilst cleaning
the outer shell. Never use any chemicals
or cleaning substances, as they may
damage the product.
Remember to check a small area first.
Operation is simple for both right and left handed people. Simply hold the
steam plate flat against the wallpaper for approx. 10 seconds. Now move
the plate to the spot immediately next to the one just steamed –from
which the paper should now easily come away with a little help from a
wall scraper. Working this way should enable continuous paper removal
although it may be necessary to steam for longer periods with some
papers, or if not completely removed first time. Operate steamer until
water level is low, then unplug unit and allow to cool for at least 15
minutes before removing filler cap –please beware of steam –and
refilling unit. When finished, allow to cool completely and empty unit.
Always store unit empty.
The appliance is ready to operate as soon as the steam (without pressure)
comes out of the applicator. Make a small incision in the wallpaper.
Move the applicator slowly over the wallpaper to impregnate it with
steam; for efficient work, take the nature of the wallpaper and the
condition of the wall into account. For thick wallpapers it may be
necessary to wait before trying to peel off the wallpaper. Regularly check
the water level (for example every 45 minutes).
