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.

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.
