Safety
Misuse of a steamer is very dangerous, take great care.
Steamer chambers, doors, water valves and ball floats should be checked and maintained regularly.
Steam pressure must be reduced before opening the door.
Steamer doors should be left ajar, when not in use, to prevent the build up of mould.
They should be drained, washed, rinsed and dried after every session (if applies).
Check the water well is correctly filled and the ball valve arm moves freely (if applies).
