Cleaning
To keep your HY-12E/24EF Steamer in proper working condition, use the following procedure to clean the unit. This
regular cleaning will reduce the effort required to clean the steam generators and cavities.
A. Suggested Tools
1. Mild detergent
2. Stainless steel exterior cleaner such as Zepper
3. Steam generator de-liming agent, such as
Groen Delimer Descaler,
Lime-Away® or an
equivalent. A liquid de-liming agent will be
easier to use than crystals or powders. See
the warning about chlorides, below.
4. De-greaser, such as EncompasS®, Malone
34®, Puritan Puribrute®, or Con-Lie®
5. Cloth or sponge
6. Plastic wool or a brush with soft bristles
7. Spray bottle
8. Measuring cup
9. Nylon pad
10. Towels
11. Plastic disposable gloves

B. Procedure
1. Unit Exterior
a. Prepare a warm solution of the mild detergent as
instructed by the supplier. Wet a cloth with this
solution and wring it out. Use the moist cloth to
clean the outside of the unit. Do not allow freely
running liquid to touch the controls, the control
panel, any electrical part, or any open louver.
b. To remove material which may be stuck to the
