cleaning or servicing.
1. If water in sight glass is not clear and appears murky, this indicates poor water quality
and may cause control failure. SEE WATER QUALITY STATEMENT, page 4.

functioning properly.
3. Clean around burners and orifices if lint has accumulated.
4. Visually ensure carry over ports are unobstructed.

CLEANING
DO NOT allow water near the electrical components.
At the end of the day, turn the Main Power Switch OFF (automatic blowdown drains the
boiler tank) or if equipped with manual blowdown valve, open it. Wash exterior with mild
detergent and warm water, rinse, and wipe dry. Do not use steel wool on stainless steel
surfaces.
REMOVAL OF LIME SCALE DEPOSITS
The interior of the steam boiler should be inspected at least twice a year by your
authorized servicer to determine whether the boiler needs to be delimed. The servicer
should perform any necessary deliming procedure. See descaling instructions.
