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 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. Killing weeds SCRAPER The scraper supplied with your unit has a reversible blade. To change the blade undo the two screws on the underside of the scraper to free the blade and the retaining plate. Beware of sharp edges when handling the blade. Before refitting the blade and retaining plate ensure that the roller is correctly seated. Replace the two screws to secure the blade. Always fit the protective cover to the scraper when not in use. Packs of spare blades for the scraper are available from Earlex. Please contact our helpline on: 01483 454666 for further details. SMALL STEAM PLATE 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.
