    If the fins are blocked, wash them with water or a steam cleaner.

    NOTICE:
    1. If the distance between the steam cleaner and core is too close, the fins may be damaged.
    1. Keep the following injection distance.

      Standard injection distance:
      Injection Distance
      Injection Pressure
      300 mm (11.81 in.)

      500 mm (19.69 in.)
      4,903 to 7,845 kPa (50 to 80 kgf*cm2, 711 to 1,138 psi)
