Using The Steamer; Low Water Level; Draining And Cleaning The Water Tank - Sawotec MINI COMBI Manual

uSING THE STEAMER

The Mini Combi Heater has a 2.5-liter Water Tank. When filled with 2.5-liter water,
steam can be produced for approximately 1 hour if set to max. To ensure ideal humidity,
the Sauna temperature should be between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius, and the Steamer
should be left on for 20 minutes to pre-heat the Sauna and produce sufficient amount of
steam before bathing.

Low wATER LEVEL

The Combi Heater has a low water detection system which reminds to refill water before
thesteamer tank runs dry. To avoid the activation of the low water detection system,
refill water once the water level is below 1 liter for 6 kW heater or below 2 liters for 8
and 9 kW heater. If no water is refilled at that point, the low water detection system will
automatically turn off the steamer heater and a FILL message is displayed together with
a buzzer tone on the external control unit. Observe caution while refilling water as the
steamer tank is still hot. After refilling water, the steam generator heater turns on again
after a short while.
If no water is refilled upon the FILL message appears on the display of the control unit,
the steamer will turn on again after a few minutes. The FILL message is repeatedly dis-
played until water is filled in the tank or the unit is turned off. In order to preserve the
heating plate and life span of the combi heater avoid "dry boiling" of the steamer tank.

dRAINING ANd CLEANING THE wATER TANK

In order to ensure best water quality the water tank must always be emptied after use.
This procedure removes impurities condensed in the tank as result of evaporation. The
water should be drained only after cooling down since it is very hot immediately after
using the steamer. To drain the tank turn the ball valve handle at the bottom of the steam
generator tank counterclockwise until water flows. Provide a container (i.e. a bowl) to
collect the water. Before cleaning the inside of the water tank remove its cover first (See
page 11). Do not attempt to clean the inside of the tank by hand and a cloth to avoid
injuries caused by the tank's edges. To clean the tank separation plate, lift it up and clean
it with water and a household brush (Fig. 6). Finally flush the tank with water and close
the ball valve by turning its handle clockwise. Do not use a steel brush as it might dam-
age the tank wall or bottom heating plate. Do not forget to refill water before turning the
steamer on again. Do not let the steamer water tank run dry as an alternative method
of draining the water. The lifespan of your Combi Heater will be shortened. Impurities
from water, e.g. lime, will accumulate on the walls of the steamer's water tank. For de-
calcification SAWO recommends decalcifying agents intended for household appliances,
e.g. coffeemakers and water kettles. These agents are to be applied as instructed by the
manufacturer. The outside of the steamer tank should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
When cleaning the outside, ensure that the Combi Heater's power switch is in off position.
