nstructions

It is recommended that the boiler should be checked every 90 to 120 days for scale build up. Regular maintenance should 

be carried out at this time.
If the boiler has been descaled, a new Anode should be installed in the boiler to help extend its life.
1.   With boiler empty, close manual blowdown valve. If appliance is equipped with automatic blowdown, turn water supply 

OFF to appliance. Turn power switch ON. This will energize and close blowdown valve.

2.   Remove 3/4” pipe plug from fitting on left front of boiler.
3.   Insert appropriate hose or tube through fitting and pour in (½) half gallon (U.S.) of CLR Descaling Solution or use the 

Optional Deliming Assembly DPA-1 available from your dealer.

 

For appliances equipped with CSD-1, descaling solution must be introduced through hand hole.

4.   Replace 3/4” pipe plug securely.

5.   Open water supply to appliance allowing water to fill boiler to required level.

6.   Let appliance cycle, allow two hours for descaling and cleaning. DO NOT TURN STEAM ON TO THE 

COMPARTMENTS.

7.   Open both the blowdown and low water level control valves for complete drainage and then close both valves.
 

Appliance equipped with automatic blowdown - turn OFF power switch and open low water control valve. This will 

allow complete drainage. Once drained close water level control valve.

8.   Turn appliance switch ON. When boiler is completely filled, turn power switch OFF. This will rinse and drain boiler. 

Appliance with manual blowdown valve must be opened to drain.
