NOTE: When the steamer is first installed, check the strainer more frequently to find out how often it must
be cleaned.
1. Turn OFF power to the streamer at the main electrical disconnect switch/breaker.
2. Close the valves in the steamer water supply lines.
3. Unscrew the hoses from the inlet fittings located on the rear of the
steamer.
4. Remove the filter washers (Figure 3-1) from the outlet of the hoses
and wash them with clean water.
5. Check the filter washer for wear and replace it if necessary.
6. Put the filter washers into each of the water inlets and reconnect the
hoses to the back of the steamer. Note if treated water is used to
supply water to the reservoir, make sure that it is connected to the
left inlet at the rear of the steamer (See Figure 4-1), which provides
feed water for the production of steam.
7. Open water supply valve(s) and check for water leaks.
8. Turn back on power to the steamer at the main electrical shutoff/breaker.
