Preparation - Earlex PRO STEAM LCS150NA Notice D'instruction

PREPARATION

To achieve fastest 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. As
with all decorating work be sure to protect carpets
and furniture with covers.
OPERATION
WARNING! STEAM IS HOT! The unit is designed
for safe, fast removal of wallpaper but you must be
aware that steam is produced at 212°F (100°C) so be
careful, wear protective clothing and protect your
hands with heat-resistant gloves or mitts.
Place the unit on a flat surface near to the area to be
stripped. Remove the steamplate.
FULLY UNCOIL the hose and mains lead. Connect the
thread on the steamplate to the end of the hose. This
only needs to be hand tight. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
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 filler cap and fill to the
MAX water level as shown on the glass panel at the
end of the tank. This must be clean water, preferably
hot. DO NOT USE ADDITIVES - DO NOT OVERFILL.

being produced a small
amount of bubbling

steamplate.
WARNING!
Beware of hot water
discharge prior to
steam emission. When
the steam has been
produced, lift the steam plate 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 against the wall where you
wish to commence removing.
Leave the steamplate against the wall for
approximately 10 seconds. If you are left handed you
may find it easier to operate with the other hand.
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. By working in this way you
should be able to remove paper continually. You may
have to leave the steamplate against the wall for
longer periods with some papers or re-steam if not
completely removed.
The water level is
shown through the
glass level indicator
and should not be
allowed to fall below
MIN. Switch the unit
off when this level has
been reached.
If you require further
use of the steamer, allow the unit to cool for a
minimum of 5 minutes. Remove the filler cap
carefully.
Beware of STEAM! Refill to the level
indicator as before and follow the above
instructions.
YOU MUST NEVER ALLOW THE UNIT TO BOIL DRY
