4. 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 move with the carrying frame. The steam unit, hose and steamplate 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, at objects sensitive to temperature
or other electrical equipment. Always ensure that the unit is standing securely in a
horizontal position (on the floor).
Do not stand on or place objects on the steam hose. Never over-twist or make kinks in
the steam hose and never block the valve. Never pull on the steam hose or supply cord.
Every time the accessory is changed for filling / refilling and emptying or when the steam
unit is not in use (including work pauses), pull the mains plug out of the socket-outlet.
Never overfill the unit. Unplug the unit in the event of overfilling or a fault. Use only EARLEX
original spare parts and accessories!
Caution! Danger of short-circuits! Cover socket-outlets and switches and do not subject
them to steam. Be careful of overhead dripping, when using on overhead areas tilt the
steamplate away from the face and body and regularly empty the steamplate of any
collected condensation. Do not allow water or steam to enter light switches or socket-
outlets. Always visually check that the hose and steamplate inlet are not blocked before
attempting to use. Do not strain, kink or trap the hose under heavy objects. Use only 4psi
