FLUSHING THE THERMAZONE SYSTEM: 

Under normal use, the internal water can become contaminated with dust and water precipitant. This is a normal occurrence and periodic flushing of the system may help alleviate potential clogging of the water reservoir and internal plumbing system. Flushing of the system once a month is adequate, but heavy use may require more frequent flushing. Please see the “Preventive Maintenance” section of the Instruction and Safety Manual for complete flushing instructions.
