Drain valve is easy to mount: screw on the magnetic valve and plug-in the cable.
STEAM GENERATOR MAINTENANCE:
FLUSH AND RINSE:
The steam generator has an automatic flush and rinse cycle. 15 minutes after the bathing programme has
finished or the programme has been manually aborted, the electronic drain valve will open. After the flush
the steam generator will fill its tank again with cold water and flush it again (rinse).
By emptying the steam generator tank straight after use, the life length of steam generator is improved
even in areas where water quality leaves room for improvement. Flushing the tank is not a substitute for a
regular chalk removal.
After the flush and rinse cycle, the steam generator will shut down to stand-by mode until the next bathing
programme is initiated.
Testing the water quality and descaling the HELO HSX-steam generator:
Water hardness test: Perform a water test with the test strips enclosed in steam generator package.
Dip the test strip briefly (1 sec) in water and shake off excess water. Check the test strip after 1 minute.
3 q dH, very soft water, descaling after 500 hours of use.
Test result:
! 4 q dH, soft water, descaling after 100 hours of use.
! 7 q dH, semi hard water, descaling after 50 hours of use.
! 14 q dH, hard water, descaling after 30 hours of use, installation of a water-softener is
recommended
! 21 q dH, very hard water, Install a water softener.
These numbers are recommendations from the manufacturer, descaling with citric acid can be
carried out more often.
The product warranty will be void if the steam generator has been incorrectly installed or it has
been used in a manner other than described in the user manual.
The warranty also expressly excludes operational faults if they are caused by so called hard water
(water with high levels of chalk or otherwise impure water).
The steam generator must be maintained as described in the user manual.
