anti-bacterial soap)
3. If problem persists, replace seal.

boiler has accumulated excessive mineral deposits from the
use of poor quality distilled water.

When display changes from "pressurization"
to "sterilization", does it take longer than 10
seconds for the pressure information (xxxKpA) to appear in
the read-out?
1. If the delay is more than 10 seconds, reclaim the
boiler.
2. Refer to Reclaim Boiler Section. Note: Before
reclaiming boiler check to be sure Statim has a float
switch, DO NOT reclaim the boiler on a Statim with a
