STEAM CONTROL KNOB:
This knob is located on the side of the machine
and controls the volume of steam. Turn
counter-clockwise to increase volume, clock-
wise decreases volume. For maximum pressure
and temperature, leave the knob turned to the
highest pressure setting. Always close when you
are finished cleaning and/or when you want to
remove the hose.
RESERVOIR TANK:
The reservoir tank with your unit holds approx. seven (7) gallons of water. The reservoir
is designed to contain the water supply, which is fed to the boiler and additional water as
the boiler calls for it. When you engage the MAIN power
switch, when the boiler is empty, the boiler will require
water and the pump will then
turn “ON”. DO NOT turn
on the heater to the boiler before the pump stops
pumping, indicating that the boiler is full. The blue light
indicates that the boiler is calling for more water and
water is pumping to the boiler. The reservoir has a
reservoir vent cap, which covers the fill opening; this can
be removed to add more water at any time. This cap is
an air vent fitting. DO NOT substitute or replace with a garden hose fitting. Do not run
the pump dry. DO NOT fill the reservoir with a garden hose. Use distilled water to
protect the heating element.
LOW WATER ALARM:
When the reservoir is out of water and the boiler is almost empty, a low water alarm will
sound, and the red light will flash to let you know that the heater has shut off and you
are out of water. If you elect to refill, you may do so, but the heater will not reactivate
until the temperature reads approx. 340
˚
F, at which time you may press the reset button
on the control panel to reactive the heater and resume prior working temperatures of
365
˚
F. This sensor protects your heating element.
