It has many added features; Each tank is individually pressure tested. [. . . ] Prior to the steam being produced a small amount of bubbling will occur at the steam plate. When the steam has been produced, lift the steam plate above the level of the tank outlet to allow condensed steam to run back down the hose and into the tank. If you are right handed hold the steam plate in your left hand and place flat against the wall where you wish to commence removing. If you are left handed you may find it easier to operate with the other hand. Move the steam plate to the section If the steam plate is fitted with a metal swivel joint, tighten hose nut to thread using two spanners. To fill the unit, remove the filler cap and fill to the maximum water level as shown on the glass panel at the end of the tank. Replace the filler cap, connect the mains 3 immediately next to where you have just been working and use a wallpaper scraper to remove the section that has just been steamed. By working in this way you should be able to remove paper continually. You may have to leave the plate against the wall for longer periods with some papers or re-steam if not completely removed. The 230V unit will operate for approximately 1 1/2 hrs and the 110V unit will operate for approximately 3 1/4 hrs before requiring refilling. The water level is shown through the glass level indicator and should not be allowed to fall below minimum. If you require further use of the steamer, ensure unit is switched off and has stopped boiling. Slowly unscrew the cap, any remaining trapped steam will be released from beneath cap.
