    Why is the control display blank on my A.J.Antunes Electric Steamer?
    • C
      Cassandra MartinezAug 1, 2025
      If the A.J.Antunes Electric Steamer's control display is blank, first ensure the power cord is correctly plugged into the appropriate outlet. Inspect the power cord, electrical plug, and receptacle for any damage. Also, check if the main electrical panel circuit breaker is off or tripped and reset it. If the issue persists, it could indicate an inoperable power switch, requiring service from a qualified technician.

    What to do if “Hi” appears on the display of A.J.Antunes Electric Steamer?
    • A
      Antonio ThomasAug 6, 2025
      If “Hi” appears on the display of your A.J.Antunes Electric Steamer, especially during heavy use, it may not be getting enough water pressure. Check and adjust the water pressure regulator to 10 psi and reprogram values back to factory settings. Also, inspect for pinched or kinked internal water lines or a clogged injection tube. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the Solid State Relay may be inoperable, requiring professional service.

      Samantha BushAug 11, 2025
      If the main electrical panel circuit breaker trips when using your A.J.Antunes Electric Steamer, it could be due to a damaged receptacle, plug, or cord, a loose connection, or an internal component failure. If this condition repeats, it is recommended to contact your maintenance person or Authorized Service Agency.
