Frequently Asked Questions - PS-ZP-20 Cotech

How long does it take to produce steam?

After plugging in, steam is produced within about 15 minutes, depending on water amount and temperature.

Can I use additives or chemicals in the water?

No, only use clean water. Never add detergent or other chemicals, as they can damage the steamer.

What should I do if water seeps from the steam pad before steam appears?

A little water seepage before full steam is normal. It will stop once the water turns to steam.

How do I descale the wallpaper steamer?

Use a descaling solution like citric acid. Pour it into the tank, boil for 5 minutes, let it sit for 10 minutes, then empty and rinse with clean water.

What does the safety cut-off do?

If the water level drops too low, the safety cut-off prevents overheating. It resets after 15 minutes. Wait 5 minutes before opening the lid.

What should I do if steam escapes from the pressure relief valve?

A little steam/water from the valve is normal. If excessive, the hose may be blocked or tank overfilled. Unplug, let cool, and check the valve and hose.

Can I leave the steamer unattended while plugged in?

No, never leave it unattended. Always unplug after use and before cleaning.

How do I remove wallpaper effectively?

Hold the steam pad against the wallpaper for about 10 seconds, then slowly move it across the surface. Use a scraper to remove the wallpaper.

What should I do if the steamer stops boiling during use?

This may be due to the safety cut-off. Unplug, wait 5 minutes, then top up the water. The cut-off resets after 15 minutes.

How should I store the steamer?

Allow it to cool completely, then empty the water tank. Store with the tank empty and the hose disconnected.

NOTE:

• Do not overfill the water tank and do not let the water level drop below the minimum mark.
  • Do not use additives or chemicals.

Operation

NOTE: Make sure that all connections are tight before starting to use the stripper. Make sure that your power supply is 230 V AC, 50 Hz.

1. Connect the mains lead (4) to the water tank (3).
2. Connect the lead to the wall socket.

3. Steam will be produced after about 15 minutes, depending on the amount of water and its temperature. Sometimes a little water can seep out through the steam pad before it has turned into steam. This is quite normal.

4. After use, unplug the stripper from the wall socket.

5. Allow the tool to cool before moving or emptying it.

Removing wallpaper

Hold the steam pad against the surface for approximately 10 seconds. Move the steam pad slowly across the surface of the wallpaper. The wallpaper should now come off easily with the help of a scraper. Certain types of wallpaper can take longer to dislodge and might not come off at the first attempt.

Tip

When the water is low, unplug the tool and let the water tank cool for at least 5 minutes before taking off the lid and topping up the water level. Watch out for the steam! Similarly, when you have finished using the stripper, let it cool before emptying it. Always store the stripper with an empty tank.

Safety cut-off

A safety cut-off prevents the heating element from overheating if the water level drops too low. If the water stops boiling during use, it might be because of the safety cut-off. Wait 5 minutes before taking off the lid and topping up the water. The safety cut-off resets itself after 15 minutes, and work can be resumed.

Pressure relief valve

The wallpaper stripper is equipped with a pressure relief valve. If too much pressure builds up inside the tank, the relief valve allows steam and a little water to escape. Overpressure can be caused by the hose being blocked or overfilled. If this should occur; unplug the stripper from the wall socket and let it cool before checking the valve/hose. Under no circumstances must the pressure relief valve be blocked. A little water and steam might escape from the valve during normal use.

Unplug the stripper from the wall socket and wait at least 5 minutes before removing the hose or other accessory.

Descaling

• The appliance should be descaled as and when required, depending on how hard the water is and how often the stripper is used. Descaling agents such as citric acid can be found in any supermarket.
• Switch the stripper off and unplug it from the wall socket.
• Pour the descaling solution into the tank. One pint of descaling solution should be enough.
• Disconnect the hose and switch the stripper on.
• Allow the descaling solution to boil for about 5 minutes.
• Switch the stripper off and unplug it from the wall socket. Allow the solution to remain in the tank for about 10 minutes. Let both the tool and the solution cool down.
  • Empty the tool and flush it out with clean water.

Follow local ordinances when disposing of this product. If you are unsure of how to dispose of this product, please contact your municipality.
