Anti-scaling water treatment
If water other than treated soft water is used, scale will build up on steam vessel walls, probe
sensors and pipes. This will adversely affect the performance and lifespan of the machine. In order
to prevent this, we recommend operators to use anti-scaling solution. Simply add anti-scaling
solution every day and ensure that the steam vessel is drained at the end of the day. This procedure
will prevent scale build-up inside steam vessel and increase the thermal efficiency of the machine.
Use manufacturer recommended steam vessel anti-scaling solution only.
3. Fill the fuel tank with diesel.
4. Plug the machine into an electrical outlet with all the switches on the machine off. If an extension
cord is used, the plug and the socket must be of watertight construction. Inadequate extension
cords can cause damage to the machine and can be dangerous to operators.

Water Quality Matters!
Water quality can greatly affect the Optima’s life span/time and performance. It is important to
use
SOFT WATER.
If tap water is used, daily use of water treatment (water softening liquid)
and regular sediment removal will help ensure efficient operations.
(see page 15 “Maintenance A & B” for more information).
Do not use distilled water. Do not put any other chemicals or detergents into the water
tank or steam vessel.
The feed water temperature should be above 5
℃
(40
℉
).
