When starting up, machine fails to operate:
1. Check to see if plug is in electrical outlet. Is outlet active?
2. Check fuses in your main power supply.
3. Recheck your start-up operation steps.
Machine cuts off while operating:
A low water condition can activate the manual reset low water cut-off switch (indicated when the reset light illuminates). If this should happen, follow
the below steps:
1. Bleed out all steam pressure in generator.
2. Fill water up to high level mark on Glass Gauge.
3. Push Reset Button on side of machine.
NOTE: Reset Button is to be used ONLY when machine cuts-off due to a low water condition. (When low water cut off is activated) under normal condi-
tions it is not necessary to use reset button.
4. Pilot Light will go on indicating that machine is now operational.
IMPORTANT: If Pilot Light fails to turn on after following above instructions, check fuses in your main power supply.
Condensation forms each time machine is used: This is a normal condition. Always depress lever of Steam Release Pedal Valve for about five
seconds to remove excess condensation at each usage.
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
During the first week of operation only, drain boiler at least every other day. Afterward, drain boiler at least once each week to under 10 lbs. of steam
pressure, with electric current turned off. This will extend the life of the machine. After draining, flush out boiler with plain water. Then refill machine to
high level mark on Glass Gauge. Drain Valve is located on lower left side of the machine. The exterior metal cabinet and parts should be wiped off on a
regular basis with a damp cloth to maintain the new appearance of the machine. Do not allow the parts to become clogged with dirt or grime.
IMPORTANT: Water in machine MUST always be kept above LOW level mark on Glass Gauge (½" from bottom of Glass Gauge) in order to protect
and extend the operating life of the heating element.
Steam may erode the sight glass over time. To avoid breakage, inspect the sight glass on a regular
basis for signs of deterioration.
Sight Glass Inspection: The sight glass should be inspected for deterioration each time the unit is refilled. Scratches, corrosion, chips, surface flaws,
cracks, or nicks can weaken the glass which could cause it to break and cause injury. To examine for these imperfections shine a very bright concen-
trated light at about 45 degree angle. Anything which glistens and catches the fingernail or any star-shaped or crescent-shaped mark which glistens
is cause for replacement. Any gauge glass which appears cloudy or roughened and cannot be cleaned with commercial glass cleaners, should be
replaced.
