Romus STEAM MASTER Mode D'emploi page 18

To achieve fast paper removal always gently score the areas to be stripped.
With heavily embossed, vinyl-coated or painted papers this is essential. Either
use a proprietary perforator tool or alternatively score the paper with the edge of
a wall scraper in a 'criss-cross' pattern with 150mm (6 inch) spacing (Fig. 1, A).
As with all decorating work be sure to protect carpets and furniture with covers.
• 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 Steam Master 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 or 25-35 minutes for the
110V 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
