General Safety Instructions

• CAUTION! Read all the instructions. Non-observance of the instructions below can cause electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injuries.
  • Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Disorderly or unlit workplaces may result in accidents.
  • Keep children, unauthorized persons and animals out of reach of the steamer. You can lose control of the appliance if you are distracted.
  •  The steamer plug must fit into the socket-outlet. The plug may not be modified in any form. Do not use adaptor plugs together with protective-earthed tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
  • Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating elements, stoves and refrigerators. The risk through electric shock increases if your body is earthed.
  •  This device can be used by persons with impaired physical, sensory or mental capacities or a lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the device and understand the dangers arising from it.
  • Children shall not play with the appliance. Risk of scalding or shock.

Safety Instructions for Steam Wallpaper Strippers

ATTENTION! When working with hot steam (min.100°C), there is a risk of serious scalding. Hot steam and boiling water can emit when the safety valve is activated due to overpressure in incorrect operation of the unit.
Only change position during use, with care. The steam unit, hose and steam plate can be very hot. Always wear suitable protective clothing / gloves.

• Operate the unit only with pure water without agents or additives.
• DO NOT switch the unit on when empty.
• NEVER point the steamplate / bar at people, animals or at objects sensitive to temperature. Do not point liquid or steam directly at electrical devices or equipment containing electrical components. Always ensure that the unit  is standing securely in a horizontal position (on the floor) (Fig. 6).
• DO NOT stand on or place objects onto the unit or steam hose.
• NEVER over-twist or make kinks in the steam hose, and never block the valve. Only carry the unit by its handle.
• NEVER pull on the steam hose or supply cord. The device must not be used if it has been dropped, if obvious damage is visible or if it is leaking.
• NEVER submerge the unit in liquid. Whenever accessories are replaced, during maintenance, when filling / refilling or draining, and whenever the steam device is not in use (including breaks between work), the plug on the mains cable
• must be removed from the socket. The device must be kept out of the reach of children whenever it is switched on or cooling down.
• NEVER overfill the unit. Unplug the mains plug in the event of overfilling or a fault. Use only WAGNER original spare parts and accessories!
• CAUTION! Danger of short-circuits! Cover socket-outlets and switches and do not subject them to steam. When using an extension cable: max.10m long – the cord cross-section must be at least 3 x 1 mm2. Avoid damage! When working in the vicinity of wood / gypsum bases and coated materials these can be impaired by heat or steam. Remedy: Use a heat / steam shield made of cardboard or metal. The unit switches off automatically in case of overheating. After approx.10
• minutes, the unit switches itself back on automatically. The steam time is approximately 70 minutes. The device must never be left unsupervised while it is plugged into the mains power supply.
• NEVER leave a unit unattended if switch is on. Keep the unit away from children and animals.
• NEVER let the container steam until it is completely empty.

Intended use

• The Steam Wallpaper Stripper is solely suited to removing wallpaper.
• To ensure long life of the steam wallpaper stripper, unplug and clean your unit immediately and thoroughly after each use.
• CAUTION! – Steam can loosen weak, cracked, porous or poorly bonded plaster. Check a small area before starting work. Do not hold the steamplate in one position too long and stop if plaster starts to break.
• PROTECT YOUR HOME- To prevent marks from steam on carpets and
• soft furnishings it is recommended the unit be place on a hard flat board.
• Ensure the unit will not slip or tilt. Dust sheets and newspapers are not suitable.

Preparation

• For multi-layered, painted-over or water-resistant wallpapers especially, we recommend working on the areas to be stripped using a wallpaper scorer in a grid pattern.

Operation

• Remove filler cap and fill unit with clean water to the MAX level line indicator. Replace cap (Fig. 1+2).
• Screw hose onto threaded outlets of boiler and steamplate, securely by hand.
• DO NOT overtighten (Fig. 3+4). Check regularly during use to ensure secure fit.
• Connect supply cord from unit to power socket-outlet (Fig. 5).
• lt can take up to 12 mins (approx.) before steam is produced – depending on fill water quantity and temperature (Fig. 7).
• DO NOT leave unattended and keep children and pets out of the room.
• Just before full steam production a small amount of bubbling and water will occur at the steamplate.
• BEWARE of hot water discharge prior to steam emission.
• Hold the steamplate flat against the wallpaper for approx. 10 seconds – from which the paper should now easily come away using a wallpaper scraper (Fig. 9).
• Some papers may need more steam than others. Operate steamer until water level is low, then unplug unit and allow to cool for at least 2 minutes (Fig. 11).

CAUTION! WARNING: Hot liquid or steam can burn.

• Danger of scalding. Steam may also condense into boiling droplets. Steam should not be directed towards electrical appliances. Danger of scalding appears on the cap as either symbol.
• Beware! Hot steam can escape when opening the tank cover and topping up the unit. Once the work is finished, allow the unit to cool down completely and empty it. Only put the unit in storage if it is empty and dry.

CAUTION! Before loosening the filler cap always allow the unit to cool down for at least 2 minutes. Risk of scalding! Heated water can leak from the steamplate during the heating-up phase. Hot water can drip during overhead work.

Descaling

• Lime scale build up will damage your unit. Regular descaling is essential in keeping your unit operational. Descale the unit depending on the hardness of the water used in accordance with the information in the table below. Units which are defective due to a lack of descaling are excluded from the guarantee!

• Approximate steam time before the safety cut-out operates.

  • Using standard descaling liquid or tablets, fill a jug with 1.5 litres of water
  • Add correct amount of descaler following manufacturer’s guidelines and mix thoroughly.
  • Pour the descaling solution into unit.
  • Leave the descaling solution to work for 30 minutes.
  • Then fully empty the steam wallpaper stripper.
  • Thoroughly rinse the unit two to three times with clear water to remove all descaling solution residue.

Storage
Store emptied, upright and dry.
