TROUBLE SHOOTING
l
Unit Fails to Boil
The unit has probably not been left for long enough to cool - refer to section on safety cut-out. Check the fuse in the
plug is sound and is rated at 13 amps.
If using an extension lead check that it is rated at a minimum of 10 amps and fully unwound.
l
Unit Leaks Steam from Pressure Relief Valve
The pressure relief valve is a special low pressure valve and cannot be replaced by any other valve. If steam is leaking
from the valve, the most likely cause is a blockage in the hose. Allow the unit to cool then remove the hose and check
for any blockage. Always check the inlet in the tool you are using.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES FORCE THE VALVE SHUT. THIS IS OPERATING FOR YOUR PROTECTION.
DESCALING
To maintain peak performance of the unit, particularly in areas of hard water, it may be necessary to descale the
element in the unit. Proprietary kettle descaling products can be used in your unit - always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
