Risk of scalding!
Do not work directly over your
head. Wear protective gloves!
Steam may escape from the de-
vice.
Never direct steam towards your-
self or towards other people or
animals!
• Check the condition of the plaster be-
fore starting work, as steam generated
at high temperatures can inadvertently
remove loose, porous or poorly bound
plaster. The plaster may also come
away more easily in areas that have
cracks or holes.
Also, do not hold the steam plate in
one place for a long period of time.
You can determine where there is
loose plaster by tapping parts of the
wall with your knuckles. If it produces
a hollow sound, please proceed with
extreme caution.
• Always test the wallpaper remover in
a small area of about 100 cm² before
actually starting work.
• If you find that the plaster is coming
loose or you hear a crack, stop work-
ing. The wallpaper remover can be
used safely for plasterboard surfaces.
• The heat generated by this product
may cause damage to certain surfaces,
e.g. carpets, upholstered furniture,
table tops or cupboards. In order for
these surfaces not to be damaged by
the heat of the boiler tank (7), always
place the tank on a wooden board or a
similar object. Dust covers or newspa-
pers are not suitable for this purpose.
• Hold the boiler tank (7) by the handle
(3) only.
• Wallpapers that have had several
coats of paint or that are waterproof
20
are difficult to remove. Perforate this
type of wallpaper with a spiked roller
so that the steam can work on the
paste layer.
• In the case of foam backed vinyl wall-
paper, remove the top vinyl layer, if
necessary, before working with the
wallpaper remover.
• Always wear protective clothing when
removing wallpaper from the ceiling.
Pay attention to the condensation col-
lecting on the steam plate, as hot water
may drip off. Empty the steam plate
regularly and do not use it directly over
your head.
• Always place the steam plate (11/13)
in a suitable container when left unat-
tended (even if only briefly). Never
point the steam plate towards yourself
when using it.

Switching on and off

1. To switch on, insert the mains plug (1)

the heating phase, some hot water may
escape from the steam plate. Place the
steam plate on a bucket to catch any
escaping water.
Never leave the device unattended
while it is switched on.
3. To switch off the device, remove the
mains plug (1) from the socket.
