General Safety Instructions
CAUTION!
Read all the instructions. Non-observance of the instructions below can cause electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injuries.
a) Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Disorderly or unlit workplaces may result in accidents.
b) Keep children, unauthorised persons and animals out of reach of the steamer. You can lose control of the appliance if you are distracted.
c) The steamer plug must fit into the socket-outlet. The plug may not be modified in any form. Do not use adaptor plugs together with protective-earthed tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
d) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating elements, stoves and refrigerators. The risk through electric shock increases if your body is earthed.
e) This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
f) Children shall not play with the appliance. Risk of scalding or shock.
Safety Instructions for Steam Wallpaper Strippers
ATTENTION!
When working with hot steam (min.100°C), there is a risk of serious scalding. Hot steam and boiling water can emit when the safety valve is activated due to overpressure in incorrect operation of the unit.
Only change position during use, with care. The steam unit, hose and steamplate can be very hot. Always wear suitable protective clothing / gloves.
Operate the unit only with pure water without agents or additives.
DO NOT switch the unit on when empty.
NEVER point the steamplate / bar at people, animals or at objects sensitive to temperature. Always ensure that the unit is standing securely in a horizontal position (on the floor) (Fig. 6).
DO NOT stand on or place objects onto the unit or steam hose.
NEVER over-twist or make kinks in the steam hose, and never block the valve. Only carry
the unit by its handle.
NEVER pull on the steam hose or supply cord. Do not use if supply cord or any other part is visibly damaged, particularly if unit has been known to have been dropped.
NEVER submerge the unit in liquid. Every time the accessory is changed for filling / refilling and emptying or when the steam unit is not in use (including work pauses), pull the mains plug out of the socket-outlet.
NEVER overfill the unit. Unplug the mains plug in the event of overfilling or a fault. Use only WAGNER original spare parts and accessories!
CAUTION! Danger of short-circuits! Cover socket-outlets and switches and do not subject them to steam. When using an extension cable: max.10m long – the cord cross-section must be at least 3 x 1 mm ^2 . Avoid damage! When working in the vicinity of wood / gypsum bases and coated materials these can be impaired by heat or steam. Remedy: Use a heat / steam shield made of cardboard or metal. The unit switches off automatically in case of overheating. After approx.10 minutes, the unit switches itself back on automatically. The steam time is approximately 70-80 minutes.
NEVER leave a unit unattended if switch is on. Keep the unit away from children and animals.
NEVER let the container steam until it is completely empty.
Intended use
The Steam Wallpaper Stripper is solely suited to removing wallpaper.
To ensure long life of the steam wallpaper stripper, unplug and clean your unit immediately and thoroughly after each use.
CAUTION! - Steam can loosen weak, cracked, porous or poorly bonded plaster. Check a small area before starting work. Do not hold the steamplate in one position too long and stop if plaster starts to break.
PROTECT YOUR HOME- To prevent marks from steam on carpets and soft furnishings it is recommended the unit be place on a hard flat board. Ensure the unit will not slip or tilt. Dust sheets and newspapers are not suitable.
Preparation

Hand holding a trowel over a grid-patterned surface (no text or symbols)
Gently score the areas to be stripped using a proprietary perforator tool or the edge of a wall scraper in a criss-cross pattern.
Operation
- Remove filler cap and fill unit with clean water to the MAX level line indicator. Replace cap (Fig. 1+2).
- Screw hose onto threaded outlets of boiler and steamplate, securely by hand. DO NOT overtighten (Fig. 3+4). Check regularly during use to ensure secure fit.
- Connect supply cord from unit to power socket-outlet and switch on (Fig. 5).
When connecting the cordset to the unit, make sure the flap is fully open and does not prevent the plug being fully inserted. Refer to diagram below. If the flap touches the ribs on the cordset it may prevent the cordset inserting fully into the unit.
- It can take up to 15 mins (approx.) before steam is produced - depending on fill water quantity and temperature (Fig. 7).
- DO NOT leave unattended and keep children and pets out of the room.
- Just before full steam production a small amount of bubbling and water will occur at the steamplate.
- BEWARE of hot water discharge prior to steam emission.
- Hold the steamplate flat against the wallpaper for approx. 10 seconds - from which the paper should now easily come away using a wallpaper scraper (Fig. 9).
- Some papers may need more steam than others. Operate steamer until water level is low, then unplug unit and allow to cool for at least 2 minutes (Fig. 11).
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
WARNING: Hot liquid or steam can burn.
Danger of scalding. Steam may also condense into boiling droplets. Steam should not be directed towards electrical appliances. Danger of scalding appears on the cap as either symbol.
Beware of steam - before removing the filler cap and refilling unit. When finished, allow to cool completely and empty unit. Always store unit empty.
Before loosening the filler cap always allow the unit to cool down for at least 2 minutes. Risk of scalding! Heated water can leak from the steamplate during the heating-up phase. Hot water can drip during overhead work.
