Safety instructions

Warning! When using mains powered appliances, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.

• Read all of this manual carefully before using the appliance.
• The intended use is described in this manual. The use of any accessory or attachment or the performance of any operation with this appliance other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury.
  Retain this manual for future reference.

Using your appliance

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Make sure that the mains socket is earthed. The manufacturer and dealer cannot accept responsibility for any problems caused by incorrect wiring.
Always unplug the appliance before filling the boiler reservoir.
- Use a Residual Current Device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Always take care when using the appliance.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when not in use, before fitting or removing parts and before cleaning.
Do not remove the filler cap while the unit is operating. Switch off and allow the appliance to cool for 2 minutes before removing the cap.
- The appliance must not be left unattended when plugged to the mains.

Liquid or steam must not be directed towards equipment containing electrical components.
- Never submerge the unit in water or other liquids or pour water over the unit.
- Only use clean tap water.
- Never overfill the water tank past the MAX indicator (maximum 4 litres/7 pints).
Make sure that the boiler is placed on a safe and flat surface. Do not tip the boiler as there is a risk of water entering the hose.
- Never pull the unit by the hose or electric cable.
- Keep the cable away from heat and sharp edges.
Do not place the boiler higher than ground level e.g. on a step ladder or table.
- Never block the safety valves on the top of the boiler.
- The boiler and the steam plate become hot during use.

Always hold the steam plate and the boiler by the handles provided.

• Never detach the hose while the unit is switched on. Allow to cool down for 10 minutes.

• Do not allow the hose to become kinked or blocked by debris. In the event of a hose blockage remove the plug from the wall socket. If the blockage can not be removed, return the unit to your nearest BLACK+DECKER service centre.

• When removing wallpaper from the ceiling, be careful of condensation collecting in the steam plate. Empty the steam plate regularly and never use directly above your head as hot water may drip.
  After use, allow the unit to cool down for 10 minutes before emptying and storing. Always store upright in a dry place.

• When using a ladder always work at comfortable heights and be careful not to overreach.
  Do not stand on the wallpaper stripper.
• Never replace the boiler filler cap with a non BLACK+DECKER part. If this should be lost, return the unit to your nearest BLACK+DECKER service centre.
  If you are using an extension lead it must be rated at a minimum of 13 amps and fully unwound. Do not operate with a lead rated at less than 13 amps as this will cause the cable to overheat.

The extension lead used must be a '3 wired-earthy extension cable.

Safety of others

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and 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.

Children shall not play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Safety devices

• Incorporated in the body of the boiler is a pressure release valve. This will allow steam and some hot water to be emitted should there be excess pressure in the boiler. This could be caused by a blocked hose or overfill condition. In the event of this happening, remove the plug from the wall socket and allow to cool before investigating. Do not, under any circumstances, allow this valve to become blocked.

Note: Under normal use there may be small amounts of steam and water emitted from this valve.

• The filler cap includes a vacuum release valve which allows air to be taken into the unit if a vacuum is created.
• The hose has a double wall to reduce the surface temperature.
• Your unit is fitted with an overheat protection device (thermal cut-out) which will operate if the unit boils dry. Switch off, allow the unit to cool for 2 minutes and refill with water, preferably hot. The cut-out will automatically reset and steam will be produced within 5 to 10 minutes.
• You should not allow the unit to be tilted as this may result in the overheat protection (thermal cut-out) operating

leading to excessive re-set times.

In the event of the steam pipe becoming blocked and excess pressure is evident, remove the plug from the electric supply. Do not try to open the filler cap until the unit has been allowed to cool for 2 minutes otherwise an interlock device will be activated inside the cap. The interlock device will reset itself once the unit has cooled thus allowing the cap to be removed.

After use

Switch off and remove the plug from the socket before leaving the appliance unattended and before changing, cleaning or inspecting any parts of the appliance.
- When not in use, the appliance should be stored in a dry place. Children should not have access to stored appliances.

Inspection and repairs

Before use, check the appliance for damaged or defective parts. Check for breakage of parts, damage to switches and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
- Do not use the appliance if any part is damaged or defective.
- Have any damaged or defective parts repaired or replaced by an authorised repair agent.
Before use, check the power supply cord for signs of damage, ageing and wear.

• Do not use the appliance if the power supply cord or mains plug is damaged or defective.
• If the power supply cord or mains plug is damaged or defective it must be repaired by an authorised repair agent in order to avoid a hazard. Do not cut the power supply cord and do not attempt to repair it yourself.
• Never attempt to remove or replace any parts other than those specified in this manual.

Using the wallpaper stripper (fig. E)

Check the state of your plaster before you start work

ENGLISH

(Original instructions)

as high temperature steam can loosen weak, porous or poorly bonded plaster. Plaster is also loosened more readily in areas of cracks, holes or if the steam plate is held in one position for too long.

• You may be able to detect if you have weak plaster by tapping a few areas of the walls with your knuckles. If this produces a hollow sound, we recommend proceeding only with extreme care.
  In all cases test out the wallpaper stripper on a small area, about 100~cm^2 , before starting work properly.
  If at any stage finishing plaster is loosened or you hear a crack, do not continue. The wallpaper stripper is safe for drywall/plaster board surfaces.
  Due to the heat generated by this product, it is possible that certain surfaces, ie. carpets, soft furniture, table tops, cabinets etc., could be marked or damaged. To prevent this, ensure a wooden board or other barrier is placed under the boiler to prevent the heat damaging the surface. Dust sheets or newspapers are not adequate for this purpose.
  For best results, remove wallpaper with a scraper. Scrape off wallpaper in a downward direction (fig. F).
  Always wear protection when removing wallpaper from the ceiling. Be careful of condensation collecting in the steam plate as hot water may drip (fig. G and H). Empty the steam plate regularly and never use directly above your head.
  Always place the steam plate in a suitable container when left unattended, even for a few seconds, and keep the steam plate facing away from you when in use (fig. I and J).

Storage

Allow the appliance to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Empty the appliance.
Store the appliance upright in a dry place.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Warning! Before performing any maintenance, switch off and unplug the appliance and allow it to cool.

Occasionally rinse the boiler with tap water until it runs clear.

Do not use chemical additives.

Your BLACK+DECKER corded/cordless appliance/tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
