Cleaning the Chamber Filters

CAUTION! Hot Chamber.
The unit's Stand-by mode is preset to maintain a hot chamber. Turn the unit off and allow adequate time for it to cool
before performing maintenance.
Frequency: Monthly or every 100 cycles.
Over time, the chamber's three filters will collect enough debris
to slow chamber draining and affect performance. To clean or
replace the filters follow these steps:
1. Remove the 3 chamber filters by unscrewing them from
the chamber. Clean them under running water. Clear the
mesh of debris. (If the filter cannot be reused, replace it).
To reinstall a filter, screw the filter back into position.
2.
The grooves on the filter head should be flush with the
chamber surface to enable proper drainage. Tighten by
hand.
