CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Manual cleaning is needed at least once each season to clean out the mineral deposits that remain in the tank
after automatic flushing. Manual cleaning is easy – just empty and remove the water tank and clean the interior
components. Then re-assemble and start TrueSTEAM up again.
When should I clean the tank?• TrueSTEAM should be manually cleaned at least once every 5 months.
(Hard water may require more frequent cleaning.) The Cleaning Required light turns on when the tank needs
manual cleaning. TrueSTEAM will still operate normally when the Cleaning Required light is on. The light will
turn off when you have cleaned the tank and re-started TrueSTEAM.
Note: The Cleaning Required light turns on when the tank drains too slowly during a manual flush cycle. (This is probably due to tank sediment.) TrueSTEAM
will still operate as normal. If during the next manual flush cycle, the tank drains normally, the Cleaning Required light will stop blinking.
How do I clean the tank?• Follow these steps to manually clean TrueSTEAM:
Press the Drain button to initiate a flush cycle and
empty the water tank. You will know the tank is
draining when the Draining light is blinking.
Wait for the Empty light to turn on. (It takes about 45
minutes for the tank to drain.) This indicates that the
water has finished draining.
IMPORTANT: You can stop a manual flush once the
cycle has started by pressing and holding the Drain
button while the Draining light is already blinking. The
tank will refill and TrueSTEAM will return to normal
operation in about 5 minutes.
Turn the manual shutoff valve at the tank bottom to the
“Unlock” position.
Grip the white water valve arm and push it back to
disconnect it from the tank.

Why do I need to manually clean the tank?
CAUTION: Scalding Hazard.
Initial water temperature may be above 140°F (60°C) and can cause scalding injury. Make sure
the drain outlet is not exposed, and use caution when pressing the Drain button.
