[. . . ] G Never remove elbow filler cap or detach hose whilst unit is operating. G Never use outside when raining. G G G G G G G G G G G G G Switch off and wait for 2 minutes before removing elbow filler cap to refill boiler. Allow to cool completely before emptying boiler. Do not drag or try to move boiler by pulling with hose or mains lead. [. . . ] 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. R R TROUBLE SHOOTING Unit Fails to Boil The unit has probably not been left for long enough to cool- refer to section on safety cut-out. Check the fuse in the plug is sound and is rated at 13 amps. If using an extension lead check that it is rated at a minimum of 10 amps and fully unwound. Unit Leaks Steam from Pressure Relief Valve The pressure relief valve is a special low pressure valve and cannot be replaced by any other valve. If steam is leaking from the valve, the most likely cause is a blockage in the hose. Allow the hose to cool then remove the hose and check for any blockage. Always check the inlet in the tool you are using. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES FORCE THE VALVE SHUT. [. . . ] EA20 - Complete set of 3 accessories - EA11, EA12 & EA13.
