Procedure Complete  
Periodic Maintenance & Cleaning  
Daily Maintenance  
At the end of each day, perform the Daily Blow-Down  
procedure (see Daily Blow-Down Procedure in the  
Maintenance & Troubleshooting manual).  
A. Throughout the day, check the water level

frequently.  
B. Check for any leaks from the Sight Glass. If leaks  
are found, tighten the Sight Glass fixture nuts or  
replace the Sight Glass and gaskets if necessary.  
Also, clean the unit thoroughly (see Daily or Weekly  
Cleanup below).  
Procedure Complete  
Daily Blow-Down Procedure  
IMPORTANT!  
CAUTION!  
It is extremely important to fully understand and perform  
these maintenance procedures. This procedure should be  
performed with caution, preferably at the end of the  
workday. For the first few days, only TWO blow-downs per  
day are recommended to clean the inside of the boiler.  
EXPLOSION/BURN/INJURY HAZZARD! The boiler is under  
high pressure and high temperature. Never leave the boiler  
unattended while performing the blow-down procedure.  
Always wear protective gloves and goggles to prevent  
injuries.  
A daily blow-down is essential maintenance for a steam  
generator. It lengthens the life of the boiler and prevents boiler  
malfunction due to scale build-up.  
IMPORTANT!  
Before beginning the blow-down procedure, ensure that the  
blow-down line is properly connected to a blow-down tank  
or drain line for safe discharge purposes. If blowing down  
into a receptacle, allow pressure to decrease to 5-10 psi  
before opening Blow-Down Valve.  
The following blow-down procedure removes most sediment.  
However, a manual clean-out must also be performed  
periodically, depending on local water conditions, but no less  
than once every six months (see 3-6 Month Maintenance in the  
Maintenance & Troubleshooting manual).  
IMPORTANT!  
IMPORTANT!  
Do NOT use distilled water to operate the boiler.  
Do NOT use any boiler cleaning components.  
Discharge only to a blow-down tank or to a safe discharge.  
If blowing down into a receptacle, allow pressure to  
decrease to 10 psi before opening blow-down valve.

The I/O button light dims.  
IMPORTANT!  
The blow-down valve must be opened SLOWLY, not
