7.2 Functioning of the cleaning system
SteamRock Basic steam generator features an integrated automatic descaling and draining system.
This system will automatically descale the water tank at certain intervals. These intervals depend
on the evaporated water quantity. They do not depend on the total “switched on” time which
may have certain intervals without actual steam production. After the descaling the water tank
will be rinsed and drained. High pressure blast of water directed at the drain will help to split
scale flakes into smaller pieces and clear them out of the tank during the draining.
The descaling cycle will start if the calculated time interval for cleaning has been reached and the
steam generator remains idle (no steam production) for 45 minutes. This is interpreted as the end
of the steam operation session which allows the cleaning cycle to start.
In the case the steam generator is operated in a manual non-stop mode a forced descaling cycle
will be carried out after 24 h of operation.
The descaling cycle will be also started if the steam generator has reached the calculated time for
cleaning and has been disconnected from power and then connected to power again.
If the calculated time for the next descaling has not yet been reached but the generator has been
stopped for 45 minutes then it will drain the water tank without descaling. This will take approx. 10
minutes time.
If this feature (intermediate drain) is not
desired it may be disabled as follows:
•
Disconnect the power supply and
open the steam generator.
•
Remove the jumper JP2 from „A“
position.
•
Set the jumper JP1 to „H“ and „S“
(use the spare jumper removed
from JP2).
•
Switch on the power supply.
•
The „Status LED“ on the main
board will flash
- two times if the draining
function is enabled
- three times if the draining
function is disabled
•
Disconnect the generator from
power
•
Set the jumper JP2 back to „A“
position, set the jumper JP1 to the
original position, switch the power
supply to the steam generator.
