Instructions for Steamplate (12)
Steamplate (12) is used in conjunction with
Steam Gun (13) and/or fitted to Extension
Tubes (7).
Note: When using this accessory it is not
necessary to wait 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 is 30 to 35
minutes).
The Steamplate (12) can be used for the
following:
• Wallpaper Stripping: (Remember to test
small area first). Hold Steamplate (12) flat
> against the wallpaper for approximately 10
> seconds.
• See page 7 for steam operation with handle.
• Now move the Steamplate (12) 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 using a
> proprietary perforator tool or the edge of a
> wallpaper scraper in a ‘criss-cross’ pattern
> with 6 inch (150mm) spacing.
• Artex
®
Removal: Same method as for
wallpaper removal although the steaming
time may be longer.
CAUTION! Some textured finishes may
contain asbestos which may be hazardous to
health and which are subject to licensing
controls operated by HSE (Health and safety
Executive).
•
Vinyl-Floor Tile Removal: Steamplate (12)
> 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 Steamplate (12) on
> each section for 2 to 2½ 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 1½ minutes in order to kill them.
CAUTION!
Before using the Steamplate (12) with your
SC300 please check the following:
• Check the state of your plaster before starting
work (see page 4).
Note: As with all decorating work, be sure
to protect flooring and furniture with
covers.
