clean it periodically by the following procedure.
Regularly scheduled cleaning reduces the effort
required to clean the steam generators and cavities.
A.Suggested Tools
1. Mild detergent
2. Stainless steel exterior cleaner, like Zepper
from Zep Manufacturing Company.
3. Lime-A-Way (from Ecolab) or equivalent de-
liming agent. De-liming agent should contain
phosphoric acid, not to exceed 30% total
volume. See warning about chlorides and
sulfamic acid below.

Puribrute, or Con-Lie.

6. Plastic wool or a brush with soft bristles

12. Funnel
IMPORTANT
DO NOT USE ANY METAL MATERIAL (SUCH AS
METAL SPONGES) OR METAL IMPLEMENTS
(SUCH AS A SPOON, SCRAPER OR WIRE
BRUSH) THAT MIGHT SCRATCH THE SURFACE.
SCRATCHES MAKE THE SURFACE HARD TO
CLEAN AND PROVIDE PLACES FOR BACTERIA
TO GROW. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL , WHICH
MAY LEAVE PARTICLES IMBEDDED IN THE
SURFACE WHICH COULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE
CORROSION AND PITTING.
