Loud banging in the water lines when the solenoid valve
opens or closes.
Fault cause: The incoming water piping to the steam generator is
not satisfactorily secured.
Remedy: Using clamps, fi rmly secure the incoming water piping to
the wall.
Fault cause: Recoil (water hammer) in the incoming water piping.
Remedy: Replace 1 meter of the water piping closest to the steam
generator by a fl exible type, e.g. armored rubber hose that can
withstand the water pressure.
Safety valve opens or temperature protection cut-out trips.
Fault cause: The steam pipe is blocked, see test 4.
Remedy: Remove the blockage.
Fault cause: The internal diameter of the steam piping is drastical-
ly reduced, see test 4.
Remedy: Change the pipe or joint component that is causing the
reduction (internal diameter min. 12 mm).
Fault cause: These are several sharp bends in the steam pipe,
see test 4.
Remedy: Change the bends, they must be gently rounded (mini-
mum radius 50 mm).
Fault cause: Large water pocket in the steam pipe, see test 4.
Remedy: Adjust the water pipe to eliminate the water pocket.
Fault cause: Excessive limescale in the steam generator water
tank, see test 1.
Remedy: Descale several times with fl ushing in between. Change
the water tank, complete with the element and electrodes, if that
did not work.
Steam production comes and goes at short intervals right
from the start.
Fault cause: The sensor is not positioned correctly relative to the
steam jet, see test 2.
Remedy: Move the sensor or change the direction of the steam
jet.
Fault cause: Limescale or other foreign material in the dirt fi lter.
Remedy: Remove and clean the dirt fi lter.
Fan or lighting not working despite correct connections.
Fault cause: A fuse can have blown/tripped.
Remedy: Replace the fuse in accordance with Fig. 13.
TEST 1.
Inspecting the build-up of limescale in the water tank.
Unscrew the lock nut at the top of the steam generator. Use a
torch to see inside the tank. Inspect the inside of the tank through
the hole. If there is a layer of limescale higher than 3 cm from the
bottom, the steam generator has not been serviced as prescribed
with regular descaling. The fault could also be that the automatic
emptying and fl ushing have not been working. If there is a switch
in the electrical feed to the steam generator, check that it has not
been used as a shut-down switch after each steam bath session.
Such a switch must not be switched off before not less than 80
minutes have elapsed since the control panel has switched off .
TEST 2.
Functional check of the sensor.
Soak a small hand towel in cold water. Hang the wet towel over
the sensor. If the steam generator begins to produce steam within
20 minutes the sensor is serviceable, but positioned incorrectly or
the temperature has been set to a value that is too low.
TEST 3.
Functional check of the solenoid valve.
Use a separate switch to check that the solenoid valve is ope-
rating satisfactorily. If it leaks. it may be due to dirt or limescale
deposits. Check that the dirt fi lter is intact, and descale the steam
generator.
TEST 4.
Checking the steam pipe if the safety valve opens or tempe-
rature protection cut-out trips.
Unscrew and disconnect the steam pipe from the steam genera-
tor. Start the steam generator and allow it to run for about 1 hour.
If the safety valve or temperature protection do not trip during this
test, there must be a blockage in the steam pipe that is in the way
of the steam. Rectify in accordance with the troubleshooting chart.
If during servicing you wish to empty the tank – Use the switch at
the left wall of the electrical cabinet to manually open and close
the motorized ball valve.
In the event of problems, please contact the retailer where you
purchased the equipment.
