Manual

Just before full steam production a small amount of bubbling and water will occur at the steam plate.

Beware of hot water discharge prior to steam emission.

STRIPPING: Remember to check a small area first.

peration is simple for both right and left handed people.

imply 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 wallpaper 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 2 minutes before removing filler

cap -

Beware of steam - and re-filling unit. When finished, allow to cool completely and empty unit. Always store unit

mpty.

SAFETY CUT-OUT

A safety cut-out is fitted to prevent overheating the element if the water boils low. If unit stops boiling during use this

may be the cause. Wait for 2 minutes before removing filler cap then re-fill with water. The cut-out will self reset and

steam be produced again within 5-15 minutes.

The cut-out will not protect the element if a part filled unit is tilted during use in a way which enables part of the

element to be out of the water for longer than 15-20 seconds.

OTHER USES FOR THE STEAM PLATE

Artex

- Normally Artex

can be removed using the same method as for wallpaper although the steaming time will be

longer. CAUTION: Some textured finishes may contain asbestos which may be hazardous to health and which are

subject to licensing controls operated by the HSE (Health & Safety Executive).

Vinyl Floor Tiles - Vinyl floor tiles can also be removed if the plate is left long enough for the heat to penetrate the

adhesive. Once the adhesive is hot it softens and the tile can be peeled from the floor

Sterilising Soil - To sterilise soil in seed trays or greenhouses rake the soil to obtain a fine

surface. Leave the steam plate on each section, for 2 to 2.5 minutes which should ensure that

the steam has penetrated through the surface.

Killing Weeds - Steam will kill weeds on paths and patios without the use of chemicals. You will

need to steam the weeds for 1 to 1.5 minutes in order to kill them.

SMALL STEAM PLATE

(Optional Accessory - Not included in all kits)

DANGER FROM STEAM. Always be aware that steam is being produced whilst the tool

is in operation. Always wear a protective glove when using.

This tool can be used to strip wallpaper in awkward areas, ie around door frames and in

corners etc. Use similarly to the large steam plate, steaming one area whilst stripping a

previously steamed area. This will ensure quick efficient removal of the wallpaper.

JET NOZZLE CLEANER

(Optional

Accessory - Not included in all kits)

IMPORTANT Always check the suitability of materials before steam cleaning. Steam is being

generated at 100˚C. Do not use on any surfaces that cannot stand this temperature

e.g. Draylon

, delicate fabrics etc.

Always test a small area of the material - preferably a

portion that is normally unseen - and allow to dry before starting the full cleaning task. Do

not soak materials being cleaned. Only light application of steam is required.

ASSEMBLING THE TOOL

The Universal Handle (AC302) is used in conjunction with the Jet Nozzle Cleaner

. Align the outline

triangle on the handle with the triangle on the accessory. Push the handle into the accessory and

twist so that the solid triangles on the handle and accessory are aligned (see Diagram 1).

Over time, you may find that your steam cleaning accessories become awkward to assemble to the

universal handle.

This is due to the steam reducing the lubrication properties of the ‘O’

ring seals. In

this event, simply lubricate the ‘O’ ring seals as illustrated (Diagram 2) using washing-up liquid or

furniture polish.

OPERATING THE TOOL

Connect the universal handle to the jet nozzle head. Select the scraper head or brush to fit the

nozzle end if required and push on to the nozzle.

PIug the boiler unit in and wait for steam to appear at the accessory head. Beware of hot

water discharge prior to steam emission.

This accessory can be used for cleaning all round the house, stoves, cupboards, work

surfaces, toilets, sinks, lawnmowers etc. It both cleans and disinfects at the same time.

It can also be used to defrost your freezer in minutes with no inconvenience.

Check with

fridge/freezer manufacturer for advice

before use.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
