 WARNING 
Do not connect steamer to a hot water line. A hot water connection will damage the steamer. 
 
NOTICE 
To meet warranty requirements, the supply water must meet the following specifications: 
Pressure 
30 to 60 PSI (205 to 410 kPa) 
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 
60 PPM or less 
Hardness 
2 grains (35 PPM) or less 
pH 
7.0 to 7.5 
 
Connect a cold water line to the water inlet strainer on the back of the steamer, as shown in Figure 6. The connector 
on the steamer is a 1/4" (6 mm) compression fitting. 
NOTE: To facilitate cleaning, and allow access to rear of the steamer, flexible connections are recommended. A shut 
off valve at (or near) the rear of the steamer is highly recommended. Also, an accessible water filter is recommended 
to help keep water quality within the requirements described above. See Figure 8 below.
