Checking and Cleaning the Water Strainer Monthly

General

The Water Strainer protects the unit from any foreign debris in the water line that could get into the food, damage the unit’s solenoid (causing the unit to leak or flood), or interfere with the equipment’s proper and con- sistent operation (Figure 10).

To ensure proper and consistent steaming results, visually check the water pressure regulator gauge and strainer cup regularly. If the pressure on the gauge has dropped, visually check the clear plastic strainer “cup” and clean out the accumulated deris as follows.

1.Shut off the water supply valve to the unit, unscrew the clear plastic strainer “cup” and care- fully remove the mesh strainer screen.

2.Take the strainer cup and mesh strainer to the sink and gently flush all the accumulated debris out of them, be especially careful not to damage the mesh strainer screen.

3.Carefully place the mesh strainer screen into its seat at the bottom of the clear plastic cup and confirm that the orange O-ring is properly seated in its place before screwing the Strainer cup and top back together.

4.Purge the air out of the strainer and tubing by disconnecting the male quick disconnect fitting from the equipment and, over a bucket, pushing its “white” plastic tip in until there is a good water flow.

5.Replace damaged or worn parts as needed.
