WHEN I FIRST TURNED ON MY HYDROFLAME , IT SEEMED
TO BE RUNNING HOT.
This is normal for a new unit or one that has not been used in some time. The
components of the unit are going through a 'breaking in' period that should not affect the
performance of the unit. If this condition persists for more than two weeks of normal use,
please contact our technical sales department.

THE HOSE TO THE HANDPIECE FILLS UP WITH LIQUID
This liquid is flux solution that has evaporated from the flux chamber and recondensed in
the hose. It does not cause any serious problems, but it should be drained from the hose
periodically. The handpiece hose can be drained by first extinguishing the flame at the
handpiece, then disconnecting the hose either from the back of the handpiece, or at the
check valve on the hose. The fluid can be drained from the open end of the hose. Once
the hose has been drained and is dry, reconnect the tubing. Open the valve on the
handpiece and let the gas run for a few moments. This will vent any air that got into the
line during cleaning. You can then resume use.

OVERFILLING THE DISTILLED WATER CHAMBER
If the distilled water chamber should accidentally be overfilled, it will be necessary to
completely flush the HydroFlame Torch. Follow the directions given under Changing
The Electrolyte.
Do not siphon excess liquid from the machine. Do not attempt to partially drain the
machine. Go immediately to the flushing procedure.

OVERFILLING THE FLUX CHAMBER
The most obvious symptom of this is liquid in the hose line that connects to the
handpiece.
1. Remove excess flux from the chamber using the turkey baster. Bring the level to the
halfway mark.
2. Disconnect the hose from the rear filter assembly and shake it vigorously. If possible,
dry the hose and handpiece by blowing compressed air through both.
