Water Connection - Star FS1R Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION continued

WATER CONNECTION

These units come equipped with either a direct connect, rear mounted quick disconnect fluid control
valve, or a 2 cup water tank with tank drain and supply pump. It is vital that all water supply lines be
thoroughly flushed with clean water before being connected to the steamer.
The Star Fast-Steamer has a water injection system, to ensure your new equipment works at its premium,
we recommend that a water softener is used in areas where hard water is present. Contact your local
water equipment system provider to assist you in determining your specific water quality, or contact Star
Technical support for assistance, -800-807-9054.
