Appliance Appears to be Incorrectly Installed

Symptom:
The hose clamp (Figure 040-2, Item 1) is positioned on the middle of the hose.

Figure 040-2: Hose Clamp

Cause:
No error. The hose clamp serves as kink prevention. The hose clamp prevents
kinks that get into the hose at this point, which would reduce the diameter of
the hose. The clamp is not meant to keep the hose in place.
Remedy:
None. Leave the hose clamp in its position.

Cause:
Light exposure. This is only a cosmetic problem. Quality and function of the
steam generator are not diminished.
Remedy:
To avoid this, do not expose the steam generator to daylight for longer periods
of time.
