CYLINDER REPLACEMENT METHOD 

 

 

Drain the cylinder

 by pressing the drain button and wait until the cylinder is 

completely empty. The message "DRAINING CYCLE OVER" appears. 

 

Turn  off  power

  of  the  power  circuits  (in  the  general  electrical  cabinet)  and 

control system located on the front of the device. 

 

Remove the door from the hydraulic compartment

remove the power cable 

connectors

 

and  water

 

level  sensor

  (

1  and  2).

  Then  loosen  the  clamp  to 

disconnect the steam outlet hose (

3 and 4).

 

 

WARNING!  Risk  of  burns

.  If  the  drain  is  recent,  the  steam  cylinder  is  still 

burning. Therefore, wait for it to cool down. 

 

Lift the cylinder up

 by pressing down on its base to release it from the foot of 

the drain valve. 

 

Remove the top of the cylinder from the retaining clip

 and remove it from the 

hydraulic compartment. 

 

Please tighten the steam hose slightly on the cylinder, 

only when the cylinder 

is cold, to avoid deformation.

CYLINDER CLEANING METHOD 

 

 

After removing the cylinder, mark the two half-cylinders

 (1) 

at once. 

 

Remove the nuts and screws holding with two keys of 8 

(2

), open the cylinder. 

Remove the strainer and seal, then clean them (

3).

 

 

Clean  the  electrodes,  the  brace,  and  the  inside  of  the  cylinder's  bodies  by 
scraping the limestone (it is possible to use passed acid for power electrodes) (

4).

 

 

Rinse the electrodes, the bodies of the cylinder, the brace. Do not forget to clean 
the strainer in the cylinder foot. 

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

WARNING! 

Never  shake  the  edge  of  the  cylinder  shells  to  remove 

limescale. It is imperative to systematically replace the cylinder seal 
and reposition it in its housing. Always replace the sealing ring and 
insert it into the profile of the lower barrel of the cylinder. Then insert 
the upper part (electrodes). 
Make  sure  to  align  the  two  shells,  reposition  the  nuts  and  screws. 
Tighten by screwing the screws opposite each other so that the seal 
is not deformed. 

 

If the power cables change, be sure to run them through the steam generator according to the 
wiring diagram explained previously.
