Initial Start-Up
9. To shut down the unit, press the ON switch into the off position. The
steam generator will then drain. You may also switch off the pilot switch
to conserve energy.
10. If the steamer behaves as described, the unit is functioning
correctly and ready for use.
Automatic Operation of Pilot
Once the pilot burner is lit, it essentially functions as a standing pilot. In this state, if
the pilot is accidentally extinguished (by a very strong gust of wind for example), it will
re-ignite automatically. The unit will completely shut down for a few seconds while the
pilot is re-ignited. Then the unit will come back on and resume operation in the mode
and with the (running) timer value existing just prior to shutdown. The pilot switch may
be turned off during “off hours” to conserve energy.
After the unit has been running, if the pilot burner ever fails to re-ignite automatically
within 90 seconds, wait 5 minutes before you attempt to reactivate it. In the unlikely
event that ignition problems persist, contact your authorized Service Agency.
NOTE: For operation at high altitudes (2000 feet and above) please consult the
Engineering Department.
