Operation - Titan SteamMaster Operating Manual

PREPARATION
To achieve fastest paper removal always gently
score the areas to be stripped. With heavily
embossed, vinyl-coated or painted papers this
is essential. Either use a proprietary perforator
tool or alternatively score the paper with the
edge of a wall scraper in a criss-cross pattern
with 150mm (6 inch) spacing. As with all
decorating work be sure to protect carpets and
furniture with covers.
IF THE PLASTER ON YOUR WALL IS NOT
SOUND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE STEAM
WILL CAUSE THIS TO BLOW AND REQUIRE
REPLACING . CHECK THAT THE PLASTER IS
SOUND BEFORE YOU PROCEED.

OPERATION

STEAM IS HOT! The unit is
designed for safe, fast removal
of wallpaper but you must be
aware that steam is produced at
212°F (100°C) so be careful, wear
protective clothing and protect
your hands with heat-resistant
gloves or mitts.
Place the unit on a flat surface near to the area
to be stripped. Remove the steamplate.
FULLY UNCOIL the
hose and power
cord. Connect
the thread on the
steamplate to the
end of the hose.
This only needs to
be hand tight. DO
NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
If the steamplate is fitted with a metal swivel
joint, tighten hose nut to thread using
two wrenches. The steamplate can remain
permanently attached to the hose thereafter.
To fill the unit,
remove the filler
cap and fill to the
MAX water level as
shown on the glass
panel at the end of
the tank. This must
be clean water,
preferably hot. DO
NOT USE ADDITIVES - DO NOT OVERFILL.
Connect the power cord from the unit to the
socket-outlet and switch on. The power switch
on the unit has a neon light and will light when
the unit is on. It will take between 25 and 35
minutes for the unit to start producing steam
depending on the temperature of the water
used. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED.
Once steam is being produced at the steam
plate you are ready to commence operation.
