To activate the steam, press the steam button. Note: While steaming, the
steam ready light normally turns on and off, indicating the heating element
is activated and the unit is building pressure back up. For optimal steam,
always use when steam light is illuminated.
IMPORTANT:
When you are finished using the boiler for the day, unscrew the fill
cap one turn on the unit to release the steam/air from the tank. This will
eliminate the vacuum that may cause damage to the pressure gauge. The
boiler must be cleaned periodically and any sediment/mineral buildup removed
from inside the unit; otherwise, it may become clogged. The period between
cleanings depends on the frequency of use and the quality/hardness of the
water used. If the unit is in daily use with regular municipal tap water, we
recommend a cleaning every week.
LOW WATER LIGHT
The 4100CJ is equipped with a low water light. If the low water light is on,
please ensure to fill your unit immediately. To (re)fill your boiler, use tap water
or distilled water. Do not use perfumed products or any products that contain
alcohol.
NOTE:
When you activate steam for the first time after
turning the boiler on, you may notice a fast decrease in
pressure. This is normal during the first time use.
TIP:
Filling your tank before the low water indicator light
flashes will prolong the life of your boiler. Example:
if your boiler runs out of water at 2:00 PM everyday,
ensure you refill your unit at noon.
CAUTION:
Prolonged periods of time with no water or low
water can be harmful to the boiler/the element
within the unit. Important: The low water indicator
light is a safety, not a function.
