Start Up
The first time your Elite is turned on, it will need some information loaded and some settings changed.
When the power is first turned on, the steamer will take about 30 seconds to start operating before the Elite is
turned on. The Elite screen will then light and display the amerec logo, then change to a lit screen with spinning
circle showing while it loads its own software. This will take 1-1/2 minutes with one steamer and one Elite. Multiple
steamers or multiple controls can make everything take a little longer while all the software loads.
With a new control or after a factory reset, the first thing you will see is the Welcome screen. Now press the
Change Menu button to move to the Language selection menu and select your language, then to the Region
menu and select North America, then to the Date Format menu, and then set the current date. Next set the Time
format, then the current time.Now change menus again and you will see the Home screen. (Note: page 9 for a list
of all available languages.)
Note: at this point, the room temperature may not be accurate yet. As the Elite measures the actual temperature,
the display will increase until the correct temperature is reached. After this the temperature display will change
quickly, as expected. This may take a few minutes the first time the control's power is turned on.
