TROUBLE-SHOOTING & MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION!!
To prevent the risk of electrocution:
A. THOROUGHLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS & CAUTIONS IN THIS AND
CORRESPONDING MANUALS.
B. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT(S) AFTER USE.
C. ALWAYS UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING, PERFORMING MAINTENANCE, OR REMOVING PARTS.
D. DO NOT OPEN OR ATTEMPT TO OPEN UNIT(S) COVERS. THERE ARE NO USER
SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE. PLEASE RETURN TO A QUALIFIED SERVICE FACILITY.
WARNING!!
A. USE ONLY DISTILLED WATER WITH THIS MACHINE.
B. DO NOT RUN CHEMICALS THROUGH THE APPLIANCE SUCH AS CLEANING AGENTS OR
AROMA ADDITIVES.
C. DO NOT ADD COLD WATER TO A HOT WATER JAR. THIS MAY CAUSE THE JAR TO CRACK
AND MAY DAMAGE THE HEATING ELEMENT.
1 FILLING THE WATER JAR
.
1.1 Fill the water jar to the top red line. Do not
fill the water jar above the top red line.
Overfilling the water jar may cause the
steamer to spit water.
1.2 The glass jar can be extremely hot during
and immediately following use. Do not
attempt to remove, handle, or insert the
glass jar when hot, during operation, or
immediately after use.
1.3 Distilled water should be changed daily or
after each treatment. Please allow the
parts to cool before handling.
2 STARTING THE UNIT
.
2.1 Turn the timer switch to the desired time
position. Wait 7-10 minutes for steam to
appear. Wait 2 full minutes before
directing the steam arm towards the
client’s face.
Note: The steamer is more likely to spit during
the start-up period. When a steamer is
first starting up, many of its components
are no yet heated. The result of the hot
steam traveling through cooler steamer
components may cause condensation
within the unit
– forming larger water
droplets that may exit the steamer nozzle.
This is why it is important to let the
steamer warm up and to wait 1 or 2
minutes before pointing the steamer arm
at the client’s face. This will allow the
steamer components to warm up to
accommodate the heat of the steam
produced.
2.2
Cover the clients’ upper torso area with a
towel or cloth to absorb excess moisture.
This will aid in catching any droplets that
may be expelled from the steamer nozzle.
2.3 Maintain a safe distance of a minimum 12
inches
from the clients’ face. Position the
steam arm in an upward direction (from
the torso towards the face).
Note: This position will prevent larger water
droplets from reaching the client’s face. If
the steamer is at a safe distance and
correct position, water “spit” should be
absorbed by the towel covering the torso.
3 THE HEATING ELEMENT
.
3.1 Maintain a clean heating element. Clean
the heating element on a regular basis.
Mineral build-up on the heating element
may be expelled through the steam arm.
The tiny particulates may be hot and be
projected
like water “spitting.”
