If excessive mineral deposits remain after cleaning, follow the directions below:
1. Treat generator surface with a delimer solution. Follow all instructions and safety precaution as stipulated by the
delimer’s manufacturer. If using a chemical cleaner, make sure it is safe to use on the generator surface.
2. Remove delimer solution from generator with a sponge or dry towel. Rinse generator with clean water.
NOTE: Some calcium/mineral build-up is required on the generator surface for proper steaming. If all build-up
is removed during cleaning, add distilled water to surface, and allow it to boil off. Repeat as needed until the
generator surface is thinly coated in calcium/mineral deposits.
NOTE: It may be necessary to season the generator surface with lime if using soft water. Seasoning creates a thin
coating of calcium/mineral deposits on the generator to ensure proper steaming.
To season, mix 3/4 oz. baking soda, 3/4 oz. lime, and 1 qt. water. Pour 1/4” deep onto hot generator surface. Allow
the mixture to boil off. Remove any loose powder that remains.
