Safety information for
using the steam wallpaper
remover
a) Surfaces may heat up during
use. The boiler cap may be hot
during operation and when coo-
ling down.
b) Never switch on the device wit-
hout fi lling with water!
c) Never immerse the device in
liquids.
d) Only fi ll the device with tap
water. Never add fl ammable,
toxic, caustic or other liquids.
e) Do not exceed the maximum
fi lling quantity (5 l).
f) Before removing the wallpaper,
cover switches and sockets on
the walls to make them water-
proof and steamproof.
g) Close the boiler cap and screw
caps tightly before operating
the device (see "Initial start-up").
h) Risk of scalding! Never open
the boiler cap or screw caps du-
ring operation. Before opening
the boiler cap and screw caps:
Remove the mains plug from
the socket and allow the device
and any remaining water to
cool down. Only then is it safe
to open the boiler cap or the
screw caps (see "Filling or top-
ping up with water").
i) If the steam hose becomes blo-
cked and causes overpressure,
remove the mains plug from the
socket.
j) Always ensure you are working
in a sturdy environment.
k) Carry the device by its handle
only. Do not pull on the cable or
hose.
l) Do not overstretch or kink the
hose.
m) Place the device securely and
fi rmly on an even fl oor. Do not
knock the device over.
n) Risk of scalding! If the device
falls over, hot water can get into
the hose and escape out of the
end of the hose. Switch off the
device immediately, remove the
mains plug, allow the device to
cool down and only then empty
the hose.
o) Grasp the steam plate by the
handle only.

Safety devices

• The boiler cap (6) has a pressure relief
valve (5). This means that steam and
hot water may escape if there is too
much pressure in the boiler tank (7).
This can occur if the steam hose (14) is
blocked or the boiler tank (7) is over-
fi lled. In this case, remove the mains
plug (1) from the socket and allow the
device to cool down before checking it.
This pressure relief valve (5) must under
no circumstances become blocked.
In normal use, small amounts of
steam and water escape via the
pressure relief valve (5).
• The boiler cap (6) has a vacuum re-
lease valve that allows air to enter the
device when a vacuum is created.
• The steam hose (14) is dual-lined in
order to lower its surface temperature.
• The device is equipped with automatic
overheating protection (thermal over-
load relay), which triggers when the
device is heated without fi lling. Fill the
device with (preferably hot) water. After
