9.
Wait approximately 20 minutes for the boiler to reach maximum pressure.
Once it reaches 60 psi, the unit is now ready to operate.
10. NOTE: When you call for steam for the first time (after having turned the
boiler on) you might notice a fast decrease in pressure. This is normal for the
first time.
11.
The steam station is ready for use.
12. Push the steam button or the foot pedal for steam.
13. This steam product is equipped with a low water warning light (5) and the
thermostat reset button (14, 11 or 13). During operation, if the light comes on,
it indicates that the unit requires more water to operate. If this occurs, please
follow these steps.
•
Press the steam iron button or foot pedal to ensure there is no more
steam in the boiler.
•
Slowly open the pressure cap (1) and refill to the required level with
warm water.
•
Replace the cap, tighten and press the thermostat reset button (14, 11 or
13), wait for it to build up pressure again.
IMPORTANT
When you are finished using the boiler for the day, unscrew the fill cap one-turn on
the unit to release the steam/air from the tank. This will eliminate the vacuum that
may cause damage to the pressure gauge as well as the safety cap.
For a longer life and better machine performance we suggest that you flush out
the boiler tank once a week. Flushing the tank will help slow the sediment/mineral
buildup that may occur.
TO FLUSH THE BOILER TANK
(Be careful as the water will be very hot as it comes out of the tank):
1.
Release the excess steam still inside the boiler at the end of use
(see item #13 above).
2.
Turn off the steam switch power switch and unplug the boiler unit.
3.
Carefully open the filler plug cap.
4.
Make sure the clear drain tubing has been installed on to the blow-down
valve (drawing reference #9) situated on the lower right side of the
tank, and the tubing is draining into something that can hold hot water.
5.
Open the blow down valve. Drain the remaining water from the boiler tank.
6.
Close the valve.
