SteamForce Pro

11. Operation

•
Place the unit on a flat surface near the area to be stripped and remove the steamplate.
•
Fully uncoil the hose and supply cord.
•
Connect the thread on the steamplate to the end of the hose. This only needs to be
hand tight. Do not overtighten (Fig. 1, B).
•
If the steamplate is fitted with a metal swivel joint, tighten hose nut to thread
using two spanners. The steamplate can remain permanently attached to the hose
thereafter.
•
To fill the unit, remove the pressure cap and fill to the MAX water level. This must be
clean water, preferably hot.
Do not use additives - do not overfill. (Fig. 1, C)
•
Replace the pressure cap, connect the supply cord from the unit to the socket-outlet
and switch on.
•
The mains switch on the unit has a neon light and will light when the unit is on.
Beware of Steam! The WAGNER SteamForce Pro is designed for safe, fast
removal of wallpaper but you must be aware that steam is produced at 100ºC
so be careful, wear protective clothing and protect your hands with heat-
resistant gloves or mitts.
•
It will take between 10 and 20 minutes for the 230V unit to start producing steam
depending on the temperature of the water used. DO NOT leave unattended.
•
Once steam is being produced at the steamplate you are ready to commence
operation. Prior to the steam being produced a small amount of bubbling will occur at
the steamplate.
Caution! Beware of hot water discharge prior to steam emission.
•
When the steam has been produced, lift the steamplate above the level of the tank
outlet to allow condensed steam to run back down the hose and into the tank.
If you are right-handed hold the steamplate in your left hand and place flat
i
against the wall where you wish to commence removal. If you are left handed
you may find it easier to operate with the other hand.
•
Leave the steamplate against the wall for approximately 10 seconds.
•
Move the steamplate to the section immediately next to where you have just been
working and use a wallpaper scraper to remove the section that has just been
steamed (Fig. 1, D).
•
You may need to leave the steamplate against the wall for longer periods with some
papers or re-steam if not completely removed.
