Installation and Operation Guide
KleenSteam® Systems • Models BB & CT
READ THESE IMPORTANT POINTS BEFORE INSTALLING THIS KLEENSTEAM® SYSTEM:
1. Always use a minimum 3/8” O.D. copper tubing from the outlet of the KleenSteam unit to your steamer.
2. Use the water from the KleenSteam unit only on steamer feed and make-up water.
DO NOT USE TO TREAT CONDENSATE COOLING WATER.
3. For many years, Everpure has worked closely with all major foodservice equipment manufacturers to assure the highest possible degree of
compatibility and optimal performance of the KleenSteam System with their steamers.
To help ensure satisfactory operation, we recommend that you obtain and read the equipment manufacturer’s operating and maintenance
instructions for your specific steamer model. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and procedures for installation, maintenance and cleaning.
Or consult with the manufacturer’s representative or technical service personnel for guidance regarding any differences between their
directions and those included with the KleenSteam System. Failure to do so may affect equipment performance and/or warranty coverage.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Do not make any disconnections until you have inspected the contents
of the KleenSteam unit carton. You should have:
• KleenSteam plate-mounted system consisting of:
- Quick-change filter head with 7CB5 Filter Cartridge
(BB System) or 4CB5 Filter Cartridge (CT System)
- AR-X Housing
- ScaleStick SS-10
- Dip Tube for ScaleKleen delimer
• (4) ScaleKleen 2.2 lb. packets (BB System)
• (2) ScaleKleen 7 oz packets (CT System)
If you do not have these components, do not attempt to install this
system!
Contact your local Everpure Master Distributor for assistance.
1. Shut off power to the steamer.
2. Shut off the inlet water to the steamer at the supply valve.
3. Attach the plate-mounted KleenSteam system to a suitable
structure in an accessible location. Mounting holes are provided
on the mounting plate. THE KLEENSTEAM BB WEIGHS 25 POUNDS
IN SERVICE. THE KLEENSTEAM CT WEIGHS 15 POUNDS IN
SERVICE.
4. Attach the inlet of the KleenSteam unit to a COLD water supply line
only. Hot water will damage the KleenSteam unit and will void the
warranty. Use a minimum of 3/8” tubing.
5. Attach only copper or stainless steel tubing from the outlet of the
KleenSteam system to the inlet feed/makeup water connection on
your steamer. Keep the tubing run to the steamer under 20 feet. DO
NOT CONNECT TO CONDENSATE COOLING LINE.
6. Install 7CB5 or 4CB5 Filter Cartridge into the quick-change filter
head as instructed on the cartridge label.
7. Unscrew the clear bowl and insert the SS-10 ScaleStick into the
center port of the AR-X head. The friction fit between the cartridge
and port should allow the cartridge to be suspended while placing
the clear bowl over the cartridge and threading it into place on the
head. NOTE: The cartridge must be replaced when the level of the
white material drops below 1/4” in depth. Take care not to block
the KleenSteam unit from view when installing.
8. With the supply water to the KleenSteam unit off, rotate the inlet
valve handle to the open position.

9. Attach tubing to the outlet of the flushing valve and open the valve.
10. Turn on the inlet supply water and flush the 7CB5 or 4CB5 cartridge
11. After flushing, close the flushing valve handle until the water stops.
12. Depress red pressure relief button on the AR-X head until water
13. Inspect KleenSteam unit for leaks, and correct as required.
14. Turn on power to steamer.
DELIMING INSTRUCTIONS
In addition to reducing harmful chlorine and controlling limescale
build-up, the KleenSteam system may be used to conveniently
introduce deliming material into the steamer without disturbing
existing piping.
Use only Everpure ScaleKleen deliming material. ScaleKleen is a highly
effective, safe and environmentally friendly de-scaling product. Its
routine maintenance usage removes built-up scale in steam equipment
easily and quickly. This enhances steamer performance, reduces
operating costs and helps prevent costly repairs and unexpected
downtime. Other deliming products may contain harsh acids that can
damage the housing materials or clog orifices. Generally, use one
2.2 lb (1 kg) package to delime most countertop units and four 2.2 lb
packages to delime most boiler-based units.
1. Turn off the power switch on the steamer.
2. Blow down steamer. Blow down is done automatically on some
3. Turn off inlet water to Kleensteam system.
4. Depress the red relief button located on top of the AR-X head to
relieve system pressure.
5. Unscrew the clear bowl and remove the cartridge. Dispose of
6. Remove the dip tube from it’s holding clip, located on the

to drain (or bucket) at full force for several minutes. This will flush

remaining water.
backplate. Insert the tube. O-ring first, into the center port of the
AR-X head until the dip tube bottoms out.
™
and empty it
into the clear bowl. Wipe off any excess ScaleKleen™ material which may be on the bowl threads or O-ring.
8. Thread the bowl back into the head – hand tight only!
NOTE: The dip tube may become packed with ScaleKleen
™
. This is normal and will not affect the deliming procedure.
9. Turn on the inlet water to the KleenSteam unit by rotating the inlet valve handle.
™
10. Turn on the power to the steamer. NOTE: This action will quickly introduce the ScaleKleen
material directly into the boiler chamber. If you
are deliming a countertop steamer, proceed to step 11. If you are deliming a boiler-base unit, monitor ScaleKleen™ level in bowl. When
it drops to 1", quickly turn off inlet water at valve handle. Now relieve pressure and unscrew bowl from head. Add another kilogram of
ScaleKleen™ to the bowl and reintroduce the material into the boiler. Repeat this procedure until four (4) kilograms of ScaleKleen™ have been
introduced into the boiler chamber.
™
11. With ScaleKleen
material introduced into the boiler chamber and the inlet water turned on, make sure the boiler sump is flooded. Allow the
steamer (countertop or boiler-based) to come up to operating temperature and pressure, and hold for one hour.
12. Thirty minutes into the deliming procedure, turn on steam to cooking chamber(s) for one minute. This will delime the distribution lines, small
orifices, and steam solenoid valves.
13. After one hour of deliming the steamer at operating temperature and pressure, turn the steamer power switch to the off position.
14. Manually blow down the steamer if it is not done automatically when the power is turned off.
15. Fill the boiler with fresh, clean water and repeat blow down a second time to void the boiler chamber of any undissolved loose scale.
NOTE: Depending on the steam generator fill probe configuration on your steamer, de-scaling compounds may leave residual foam bridging
probe electrodes. This can cause a false water level indication leading to “dry firing” of the boiler that can burn out heating elements.
To help ensure against incorrect probe operation, follow all of the instructions provided for de-scaling. This includes adding an additional 1 to 11/2 gallons of water to the de-scaling port(s) once automatic filling has stopped after the de-scaler drain cycle. This raises the water level above
the fill probes, permitting them to be flushed clean and drained with the following drain cycle.
16. After the second blow down, turn the steamer power switch to the off position, and turn off the inlet water at the valve handle on the
KleenSteam unit.
17. Relieve system pressure by depressing the red relief button on the tttt head until all air is expelled and water begins to escape.
18. Unscrew the clear bowl and remove the dip tube from the head. BE SURE TO REPLACE THE DIP TUBE IN IT’S HOLDER ON THE BACKPLATE!
19. Install a new SS-10 cartridge into the head, and screw the bowl back into the head. Hand tighten only!
20. Turn on the inlet water. Relieve trapped air in the clear bowl by depressing the red relief button on the AR-X head until all air is expelled and
water starts to escape.
21. Turn the steamer power switch to the on position. Steamer is now ready to be placed back into service.
