DESCALING BOILER
It is recommended that the boiler be checked every 90 to 120 days for scale build up.
Regular maintenance should be carried out at this time.

Automatic Blowdown, turn water supply OFF to appliance. Turn power switch ON.

3. Insert appropriate hose or tube through fitting and pour in (½) half gallon (U.S.) of
CLR Descaling Solution or use the Optional Deliming Assembly DPA-1 available

4. Replace 3/4" pipe plug securely.

ON STEAM to the compartments.
7. Open both the blowdown and low water level control valves for complete drainage
and then close both valves.
