SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Live steam can cause bodily injury. Do not come in contact with the Steam Line during operation. Fittings on the machine are HOT and should not be
touched during operation. Place the Steam Release Foot Pedal in a location where it will not be accidentally depressed.
Air venting the system. The following procedure will expedite the water fill procedure and operation.
1. Open funnel valve (See figure 1) by raising handle at top of machine.
IMPORTANT: Water in machine MUST always be kept above LOW LEVEL MARK on glass gauge (1/2" from bottom of glass gauge). Water must be
added at this time.
2. Place the Rocker Switch in the Fill position. This will energize (open) the steam solenoid valve and allow air to escape when water is added to the
machine.
3. Fill with clean water until water level reaches the HIGH LEVEL MARK on glass gauge, about 6½ quarts (Fig. 2). Place Rocker switch in the OFF
position. Close the funnel valve.
4. Place Rocker Switch in the Heat Cycle position. The HEATING light will now go on, indicating that machine is now heating up and building steam
pressure.
5. Allow machine to heat up (at least 45 minutes) until maximum (75-80 PSI) is reached. Check pressure gauge. The heat light will turn off indicating
when the machine has reached maximum pressure. You will notice that HEAT light turns on from time to time, as the pressure drops, and must be
built up again.
6. Use the Foot Pedal to release steam, or place the Rocker Switch to the STEAM position to get constant steam.
NOTE: Every time water is added to the steam cleaner air enters the boiler and will cause the pressure to build to a level which is a few pounds higher
than normal. This condition will return to normal when the air is released by releasing some steam.
NOTE: At each usage, do not steam directly on jewelry as there is condensation in the steam release pipe which must be released before steaming
jewelry. Depress the Steam Release Foot Pedal to discharge condensation into sink or other vessel. After condensation has been discharged (approxi-
mately 5 seconds), the machine will be ready to steam jewelry.
7. To refill the Steam Cleaner during operation: Place the Rocker Switch in the FILL STEAM position. This will release steam pressure. Check Steam
pressure Gauge. When there is NO STEAM PRESSURE, open the Funnel Valve and fill to the HIGH WATER MARK level in the Water Level
Gauge. Close Funnel Valve. Return Rocker Switch to Heat Cycle position and allow cleaner to build pressure.
8. When machine is finished for the day - Place Rocker Switch in the "OFF" position.
For Best Cleaning Results - Always depress Steam Release Foot Pedal for about five seconds to remove excess condensa tion. Carefully hold item
to be cleaned with tweezers approxi mately one inch below the Steam Nozzle.
To clean trays of merchandise, hold tray about five inches below Steam Nozzle. Move tray in a rapid side to side motion while steam cleaning.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to clean soft, porous stones such as opals. It is also not advised to steam clean precious stones which have cracks.
Do not steam clean stones exposed to extreme cold temperatures until they reach room temperature. Failure to follow this instruction could result in
property damage and void the warranty.
