Yes, when the steam generator is cool you can lift the black pressure release at the back while you’re filling and the water goes in faster. Handy tip is to always make sure that the pressure release valve at the top on the back of your hay steamer is clear of any hay or other dust and dirt. This is essential to ensure that the pressure valve is working as it should, always do this when the steam generator is unplugged and cold.
The hose has a plastic connector and is easy to accidentally damage so we recommend removing it while emptying and moving around.
Replacements are available on the website.
Steamed hay is not wet hay so the high temperature treatment is killing mould and bacteria but the aim isn’t to have the hay wet all the way through that’s just a by product of the condensation within the box .
All you need to do is give the box a rinse out with the hose to get rid of the excess hay. If you want to give it a deep clean use an adjustable spanner to take off the outer silver connector and remove the grid system to give it all a good clean out
