MAINTENANCE (continued)
CAUTION
If a chemical cleaner is used, be sure it is safe to
use on cast aluminum. Observe all precautions
and warnings on the product label.
2. Using a sponge or a dry towel, remove the
delimer solution from the generator surface and
then rinse the surface with clean water.
NOTE: To ensure proper steaming characteristics,
some calcium/mineral deposits must be present on
the Generator surface. If, during cleaning, the sur-
face does become free of calcium/mineral deposits,
add plain tap water to the surface and allow it to
boil off. If necessary, repeat this process to formu-
late a thin coating of calcium/mineral deposits.
NOTE: In soft water areas. it may be necessary to
add a small amount of lime to the Generator sur-
face to “Season” it. This will ensure proper steam-
ing characteristics by producing a thin coating of
calcium/mineral deposits on the Generator surface.
Seasoning mixture consists of 3/4 ounces (25 ml/
25 cc) baking soda, 3/4 ounces (25 ml/25 cc) lime
mixed with 1 quart (950 ml/950 cc) of water. Stir
mixture and pour 1/4” deep onto the hot Generator
surface. After mixture is converted to steam, the
remaining loose powder can be removed.
3. Plug the power cord into the appropriate outlet.
4. Turn the Rocker Switch (power On/Off) to ON.
Allow the unit to warm up for approximately 30
minutes.
5. Push and release the Operate button several
times to operate the steamer. This purges any
remaining delimer residue from the Generator sur-
face.
6. Turn the unit off, reinstall all parts and accesso-
ries, and return the unit to service.

4. Slide the metal cover off of the Spray Tube, take
a paper clip and poke out all of the tube’s holes.
Next, gently fix the tube under running water to
wash the deposits out of the loose end. Reattach
the cover onto the tube.
5. Use a scraper or spatula to scrape and remove
the excessive calcium/mineral buildup from the
Generator surface (Figure 10). Remove any
loose buildup and thoroughly wipe the Generator
with a damp cloth and reassemble the unit.
NOTE: If deposits are still excessive and/or difficult
to remove, refer to Steps 1 through 6 below
