Glass and ceramic tiles
Thermal shock can shatter glass. Before cleaning glass surfaces heat them
gently by directing the steam jet at the surface but at a distance of at
least 15 cm.
•
Use the Window/Tile Cleaner (9) to clean grime from tiles
and windows.
Special applications for nozzle and brush
•
The Angled Nozzle (10) and the Brushes (11) can be used
to get into awkward corners that are normally difficult to
clean.
•
The brushes (11) are suitable for scrubbing and loosening
persistent dirt from hard surfaces.
The brass brush (11b)
may only be used for scratchproof surfaces (not
enamel).
Removing wallpaper
Caution! Danger of short-circuits! Cover sockets and switches and do not
subject them to steam.
i
Before you start your work, check the condition of the plaster. Steam can
loosen weak, porous or poorly bonded plaster. The same can happen if there
are cracks or holes in the plaster or if the steam plate is held too long in one
place after the wallpaper has absorbed the water.
You can detect poorly bonded plaster by rapping against it at a few different
locations on the wall. A hollow sound means that you have to be extremely
careful here. Stop immediately if you hear cracking sounds or if the plaster
starts
crumbling
away.
The device is primarily for dry walls and plasterboard walls. Regardless of the
underlying surface, before you start work you should run a few tests in a small
corner to see whether any problems arise.
•
As for all kinds of renovation work, cover floors and furniture to
keep them protected.
•
If there are several layers of wallpaper, we recommend perforating
the surface with a conventional perforator tool or by lightly slicing
crisscross marks on the surface with a scraper at a distance of 15
cm (Fig. 12).
•
Hold the steam plate (12) flat against the wallpaper for approx.
10 seconds.
•
Now move the steam plate (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. (Fig. 13)
