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 tap 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.
3. Plug power cord into electrical outlet.
4. Flip the on/off switch to the ‘on’ position. Allow steamer to preheat for 30 minutes.
5. Press and release steam button several times to purge delimer residue from generator.
6. Flip on/off switch to the ‘off’ position. Reinstall parts and accessories.
Water Tank Filter Maintenance
The steamer’s water tank uses a filter to block out food particles, which can damage the water pump. This filter should
be inspected and cleaned monthly by following the steps below.
1. Flip on/off switch to the ‘off’ position. Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet. Allow unit to cool.
2. Open slide door.
3. Remove water tank filter from the tank. To do this, pull it up and out through the bottom hole.
4. Run filter under tap water to clean. Replace filter if the screen is torn or otherwise damaged.
5. Reinstall filter stem into the hole at the bottom of the tank.
6. Fill water tank. Test unit to ensure proper operation.
