It will take 40 seconds before you hear the alarm. ④When you hear the low water alarm, push the OFF button. The descaling solution should remain in the boiler tank for at 1 hour. Step 3: Clean the Descaling Sensor Attached to the boiler cap is the water-fill sensor. The sensor MUST be cleaned each time the Blue Evolution is descaled. ①Remove the sensor and soak in the descaling solution until all minerals are removed. ②Rinse the sensor with tap water and replace cap and tighten by pushing down and turning clockwise. Step 4: Drain the descaling solution from the boiler (See Step 1 instructions for draining tanks) Step 5: Rinse Tanks The descaling solution must be removed from the boiler before using. Two rinse cycles may be required if the heavy mineral deposits are discovered while draining the boiler. ①Fill the Steam tank with ¼ gallon of tap water. ②Fill the boiler tank with ¼ gallon of tap water and replace cap. ③Turn ON the Blue Evolution for 1-2 minutes allowing the water to be pumped into the boiler tank ④When you hear the low water alarm, turn OFF the Blue Evolution. ⑤Remove drain plugs, emptying the water from the boiler and steam tank. ⑥Replace drain plugs: ØBoiler plug is tight when stops turning ØThe (blue) steam plug will have a snug fit and will NOT stop turning ⑤Replace exhaust cover. ⑥Refill the extraction and steam tanks with tap water 11
Maintenance
