BOILER:
DISTILLED WATER:
We only recommend the use of distilled water. This would eliminate the
possibility of creating hard-water stains while you are cleaning and prevent
excessive build-up of mineral deposits in the boiler. If you are using tap water,
remember that the life of the heating element may be shortened due to
mineral/scale build-up. The heating element and/or the boiler will not be covered
under warranty if this situation happens.
CHEMICALS:
VERY IMPORTANT:
NEVER
INTRODUCE CHEMICALS INTO THE SYSTEM.
It may void your warranty and may result in malfunction and/or damage to your
system.
DRAIN:
Your machine has two drains. One is for the reservoir and the other one is for the
boiler. The boiler drain plug is located underneath and toward the back (by the
handle end) of the machine. The reservoir drain plug is the other. A flathead
screwdriver may be used to remove plugs. This will release the water. Use
caution since the water in the boiler may remain hot for a significant period of
time. Replace plugs carefully.
NOTE:
The machine must never be exposed to freezing temperatures without
water being completely removed from the system. If any water remains in the
system damage will occur.
HOSE MAINTENANCE:
This unit is supplied with a high temperature, all stainless-steel hose. It is very important
to protect the integrity
of this hose by not exceeding the bend radius of 2”.
If a hose is
subjected to excessive wear and tear, it will not be covered under warranty. Please
inspect your hose and cover on a regular basis for any wear. Always remove the hose
from the machine before winding the hose on the hose brackets to eliminate excess
bending. DO NOT USE THIS HOSE IF IT IS DAMAGED. DO NOT PULL OR MOVE THE
MACHINE BY PILLING/TUGGING ON THE HOSE. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SWIVEL
CONNECTOR WHEN ATTACHING THE HOSE, THIS WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE “O”
RING IN THE SWIVEL.
