WARNING
Do not connect steamer to a hot water line. A hot water connection will damage the steamer.
NOTICE
To meet warranty requirements, the supply water must meet the following specifications:
Pressure 30 to 60 PSI (205 to 410 kPa)
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 60 PPM or less
Hardness 2 grains (35 PPM) or less
pH 7.0 to 7.5
Chlorine and/or bromine 1 PPM or less
Connect a cold water line to the water inlet strainer on the back of the steamer, as shown in Figure 6. The connector
on the steamer is a 1/4" (6 mm) compression fitting. (If the unit was ordered with the split-water-line option, connect
the treated-water supply to the lower inlet, and the regular-water supply to the upper inlet.)
NOTE: To facilitate cleaning, and allow access to rear of the steamer, flexible connections are recommended. A shut
off valve at (or near) the rear of the steamer is highly recommended. Also, an accessible water filter is recommended
to help keep water quality within the requirements described above. See Figure 8 below.
