CauTIoN
Chlorides or phosphates in cleaning agents
(e.g. bleach, sanitizers, degreasers or deter-
gents) could cause permanent damage to
stainless steel equipment. The damage is
usually in the form of discoloration, dulling
of metal surface finish, pits, voids, holes,
or cracks. This damage is permanent and
NOT covered by warranty. The following tips
are recommended for maintenance of your
stainless steel equipment:
• Always use soft, damp cloth for clean
-
ing, rinse with clear water and wipe dry.
When required, always rub in direction
of metal polish lines.
• Routine cleaning should be done daily
using soap, detergent, and water.
• Stains and spots should be removed
using a vinegar solution.
• Finger marks and smears should be
rubbed off using soap and water.
• Hard water spots should be removed
using a vinegar solution.
CauTIoN
Do NOT use a sanitizing solution or abrasive
materials. The use of these may cause dam-
age to the stainless steel finish.
CauTIoN
If a chemical cleaner is used, be sure it is
safe to use on cast aluminum. Observe all
precautions and warnings on product label.

monThly mainTenance
Your steamer utilizes an open steam
Generator. Water sprayed onto the Generator
surface flashes into steam immediately, but
the minerals in the water do not steam;
they stay on the Generator surface. A small
amount of mineral deposits are needed for
proper operation, but a build-up of exces-
sive mineral deposits causes poor steaming
efficiency and excessive moisture (wet steam)
and will eventually severely hinder the steam-
ing action.
cleaninG steam Generator
1. Turn the power off, unplug the power
cord(s), and allow the unit to cool
down before proceeding.
2. Remove Top Cover from unit.
3. Remove Wing Nut and Generator
Cover (Figure 7).
4. Remove Steam Diffuser.
5. Examine all Steam Ports (Figure 7). If
mineral deposits have formed, place
a flat blade screwdriver or wire brush
into openings. Use a twisting motion
to scrape openings clean.
NoTE: If the mineral deposits come off in
flakes or in layers, build-up is excessive.
