[. . . ] Never remove filler cap or detach hose whilst unit is operating. Switch off and wait for 2 minutes before removing filler cap to refill boiler. Allow to cool completely before emptying boiler. Do not stand on boiler or hose.

[. . . ] Now move the plate to the spot immediately next to the one just steamed - from which the paper should now easily come away with a little help from a wallpaper scraper. Working this way should enable continuous paper removal although it may be necessary to steam for longer periods with some papers, or if not completely removed first time. Operate steamer until water level is low, then unplug unit and allow to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing filler cap - Beware of steam - and re-filling unit. When finished, allow to cool completely and empty unit. Always store unit empty. SAFETY CUT-OUT A safety cut-out is fitted to prevent overheating the element if the water boils low. If unit stops boiling during use this may be the cause. Wait for 2 minutes before removing filler cap then re-fill with water. The cut-out will self reset and steam be produced again within 5-15 minutes. 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 FOR THE STEAM PLATE 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. SMALL STEAM PLATE (Optional Accessory - Not included in all kits) 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. This will ensure quick efficient removal of the wallpaper. Strips hard to reach areas JET NOZZLE CLEANER (Optional Accessory - Not included in all kits) IMPORTANT Always check the suitability of materials before steam cleaning. Do not use on any surfaces that cannot stand this temperature e. g. [. . . ] These must be manufactured and approved to BS1362. IF IN ANY DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN.
