(2) Yearly Maintenance
Clean Water Line Strainer
Clean the water line strainer at least once a year as follows:
NOTE: When the steamer is first installed, check the strainer more frequently to find out how often it must
be cleaned.
1. Close the valve(s) in the steamer water supply line(s).
2. Unscrew the filter cap from the bottom of the strainer. Refer to Figure 3-1, which shows the various
strainers supplied with the different steamers.
3. On some models the strainers are built into the steamer and are accessible from underneath the
steamer (See Figure 3-2), otherwise the strainers should be installed upstream of the steamer in the
water supply(s).
4. Remove the filter screen and wash it with clean water.
5. Check the O-ring for wear and replace it if necessary.
6. Put screen back into cap and replace the cap in the strainer.
7. Open water supply valve(s) and check for water leaks.
B. TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE
The Troubleshooting guide includes a list of symptoms that may be encountered during routine operation
and maintenance. The first column on the left (PROBLEM) describes these symptoms. The second column
lists the possible causes for the problem in column one. The third column lists possible remedies for the
problems and causes in columns one and two. The causes and remedies are listed in the order they should
be checked, with the least costly and easiest to repair listed first. The third column also refers to notes that
are grouped at the end of the troubleshooting guide. Refer to these notes when instructed to do so. Do not
try and correct a problem, which requires an authorized service representative as this may adversely affect
warranty coverage.
