Tools Needed:

  • Phillips screwdriver (long-reach if available)

  • Pitcher or similar vessel to catch water

Note: Depending on when the machine was manufactured a 7mm deep socket, ratchet extension, and ratchet may be needed.

Be sure your machine is unplugged, completely cooled, and depressurized before beginning.

2. Drain the steam boiler by disconnecting the push-connect fitting from the pump by pushing the collar in and then pulling the tube out. Place the Teflon tube into a pitcher. Open the steam valve to allow water to flow through the Teflon tube.
