water Drain lineF.
This 1/2-inch hose drains water from TrueSTEAM
to a drain in your home. The tank is drained
automatically when TrueSTEAM performs an
automatic flush cycle, and at the end of the
humidification season. You may also drain the tank
manually in order to clean the tank or perform
additional maintenance.

accidentally moving forward and releasing the
water tank. Press and hold the button down to
move the lever forward.

TrueSTEAM’s operational status and when service
is required. See “What do the lights tell me?” on

truesteam Buttonsl.
The two buttons are the only controls located
on TrueSTEAM. They are seldom used by the
homeowner. (Remember, day-to-day operation is
done using your humidity control.) Use the Drain
button to manually drain the water tank. Use the
Go button to reset TrueSTEAM when restarting the
system. See “When will I press the Drain and Go
buttons?” on page 14.

The tank holds the water that TrueSTEAM heats and
converts to steam. The tank can be removed
for cleaning.
manual shutoff Valven.
Turn this valve by hand to either of two positions:
lock: The valve will be locked during operation.
This turns the water supply on and locks the
solenoid valve in place. (TrueSTEAM uses the
solenoid valve to control water flow into the tank.)
unlock: Turning the valve to “Unlock” seals the
bottom of the tank and the water supply to avoid
leaks when performing manual cleaning of the tank.
It also disengages the solenoid valve so that you
can push the solenoid back in its base to release
the tank. Once this is done, you can pull the tank
release lever forward to remove the tank
for cleaning. See “How do I clean the tank?” on
page 16.
