u
Using your appliance
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the
u
voltage on the rating plate.
Make sure that the mains socket is earthed. The manu-
u
facturer and dealer cannot accept responsibility for any
problems caused by incorrect wiring.
Always unplug the appliance before filling the boiler
u
reservoir.
Use a Residual Current Device (RCD) protected supply.
u
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Always take care when using the appliance.
u
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when not

(Original instructions)
Do not place the boiler higher than ground level e.g. on a
u
step ladder or table.
Never block the safety valves on the top of the boiler.
u
The boiler and the steam plate become hot during use.
u
Always hold the steam plate and the boiler by the handles
provided.
Never detach the hose while the unit is switched on. Allow
u
to cool down for 10 minutes.
Do not allow the hose to become kinked or blocked by de-
u
bris. 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
u
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
u
before emptying and storing. Always store upright in a dry
place.
When using a ladder always work at comfortable heights
u
and be careful not to overreach.
Do not stand on the wallpaper stripper.
u
Never replace the boiler filler cap with a non Black &
u
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
u
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-earthed' extension cable.
Safety of others
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ-
u
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.

Safety devices

Incorporated in the body of the boiler is a pressure release
u
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
u
allows air to be taken into the unit if a vacuum is created.
