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 overfilled. 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.
  Slight swelling of the boiler tank (7) is not a defect and is completely normal before the pressure relief valve (5) releases the pressure.
  In normal use, small amounts of steam and water escape via the pressure relief valve (5).

•  The boiler cap (6) has a vacuum release 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 overload relay), which triggers when the device is heated without filling. Fill the device with (preferably hot) water. After a few minutes, the device will generate steam again.

• Be careful not to tip the device, as this may trigger the automatic overheating protection (thermal overload relay).

Initial start-up

Connecting the mains cable
Insert the mains cable (1) into the mains cable connection (16) on the boiler tank (7). See detailed illustration

Mount the retaining clips
Place the two retaining clips (2) on the device and screw them in with the screws (15). See detail
. Connecting the hose and steam plate

1. Screw one end of the steam hose (14) onto the hose connection (4) on the boiler tank (7).
2. Screw the other end of the steam hose (14) onto the hose connection of the small steam plate (11).

Make sure that the steam hose is connected properly.
Never open the screw caps during operation.
Mounting and replacing the large steam plate

1. Remove the mains plug (1) from the socket before mounting and changing the accessories. Wait until steam no longer escapes and the device has cooled down.
2. To use the large steam plate (13), slide it into the guide rail (12) of the small steam plate (11).
3. To remove the large steam plate (13), pull it out of the guide rail (12) of the small steam plate (11).

Filling or topping up with water

1. Make sure that the mains plug (1) is removed from the socket and the device has cooled down.
2. Unscrew the boiler cap (6) and remove it.
3. Fill the boiler tank (7) with clean tap water. Fill the boiler tank (7) only up to the MAX mark on the water level indicator (8) (maximum 5 litres)
4. Screw on the boiler cap (6). Ensure that it is screwed in properly.

When working for long periods: Observe the minimum mark on the water level indicator (8) and top up with water in good time.

Operation

Attention! Surfaces may heat up during use. The boiler cap may be hot during operation and when cooling down.

Risk of scalding!
Do not work directly over your head. Wear protective gloves!
Steam may escape from the device.
Never direct steam towards yourself or towards other people or animals!

• Check the condition of the plaster before 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 working. 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 newspapers 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 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 wallpaper, 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 collecting 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 unattended (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) into the socket.

2. Depending on the temperature of the filled water, the device may take up to 15 minutes to generate steam. During the healing 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 main plug (1) from the socket.

Removing wallpaper

• Grasp the small steam plate (11) by the handle (10) only.
• It is best to work from the ceiling to the floor.
• Use the small steam plate (11) to remove wallpaper in corners or niches (see “Mounting and changing the large steam plate”).
• Use the large steam plate (13) to remove wallpaper on large areas (see “Mounting and changing the large steam plate”).
• Place the steam plate (11/13) on the wallpaper. Depending on the type of wallpaper and surface, remove the steam plate after approx. 10 seconds and remove the wallpaper from top to bottom or scrape off with the scraper (9).
• Place the steam plate (11/13) on the wallpaper repeatedly while scraping.

Cleaning and Servicing

You should have any repair and maintenance work that is not described in these instructions carried out by our Service Centre. Only use original parts.
Remove the mains plug (1) from the socket and allow the device to cool down before starting any work.
