Draining And Cleaning The Water Tank - Sawotec NORDEX COMBI NEXT Bedienungsanleitung

dRAINING ANd CLEANING THE wATER TANK

In order to ensure best water quality the water tank must always be emptied after use.
This procedure removes impurities condensed in the tank as result of evaporation. The
water should be drained only after cooling down since it is very hot immediately after
using the steamer. To drain the tank turn the ball valve handle at the bottom of the steam
generator tank counterclockwise until water flows. Provide a container (i.e. a bowl) to
collect the water. Before cleaning the inside of the water tank remove its cover first (See
page 11). Do not attempt to clean the inside of the tank by hand and a cloth to avoid
injuries caused by the tank's edges. To clean the tank separation plate, lift it up and clean
it with water and a household brush (Fig. 10). Finally flush the tank with water and close
the ball valve by turning its handle clockwise. Do not use a steel brush as it might dam-
age the tank wall or bottom heating plate. Do not forget to refill water before turning the
steamer on again. Do not let the steamer water tank run dry as an alternative method of
draining the water. The lifespan of your Combi Heater will be shortened. Impurities from
water, e.g. lime, will accumulate on the walls of the steamer's water tank. SAWO Decalci-
fying Solution is recommended to use to remove the hard calcuim deposits on the tank.
The outside of the steamer tank should be cleaned with a damp cloth. When cleaning the
outside, ensure that the Combi Heater's power switch is in off position.
