instructions for Steam Plate use (item 12).

Item 12 is used in conjunction with Steam Gun (item 13) or fitted to (item 7) Extension Wands.

note when using this accessory it is not necessary to keep waiting for the orange light to go off as there is sufficient steam pressure available for most stripping and removal operations (approximate continual steaming time with full tank 30 to 35 minutes).

the Steam Plate can be used for the following.

•Wallpaper stripping: (Remember to test small area first). Hold Steam Plate flat against the wallpaper for approximately 10 seconds.

•See page 7 for steam operation with handle.

•Now move the plate to the area immediately next to the one just steamed – from which the paper should now easily come away with a little help from a wallpaper scraper. Note with heavily embossed, vinyl coated or painted papers we would suggest gently scoring the surface either use a proprietary perforator tool or the edge of a wallpaper scraper in a criss - cross pattern with 150mm (6 inch) spacing.

•artex® Removal: Same method as for wallpaper removal although the steaming time maybe 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 tile Removal: Steam Plate will need to be left on tile surface long enough to penetrate the adhesive. Once the adhesive is hot it softens and the tile can be peeled from the floor.

•Disinfecting Soil: To disinfect 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 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.

Caution

Before using the Steam Plate Accessory (Item

12)with your SC300 please check the following:

•Check the state of your plaster before starting work.

•Steam can loosen weak, porous or poorly bonded plaster – which also loosens readily if cracked, holed or if the Steam Plate is held in one position for too long after applying steam to the material to be removed.

•Weak Plaster can normally be detected by tapping a few areas on the wall, if you hear a hollow sound you should proceed with extreme care – stopping immediately if you hear a cracking sound or the plaster starts to break loose.

•The unit can also be used for dry/wall plaster board surfaces.

•But whatever the surface is that you are removing material from we would always advise that you check a small surface area before starting work properly.

note: as with all decorating work, be sure to protect flooring and furniture with covers.
