Monthly Maintenance
• Turn the unit off and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet
• Allow for unit to cool for 45 minutes before cleaning
• Perform daily maintenance as listed above
•
Remove the spray tube by lifting the loose end and pulling it out of the generator hole (Fig.1)
• Slide the metal cover off the spray tube, take a paper clip and poke out all of the tube’s holes
• Gently wash the tube under running water to clear the deposits out of the loose end. Re-attach the cover onto
the tube. Please do not bend the spray tube. Bending it will cause permanent damage.
• Use a scraper to remove the excessive calcium/mineral buildup from the generator surface
• Thoroughly wipe the generator with a damp cloth to remove any loose buildup and reassemble the unit
If deposits are still excessive and/or difficult to remove, please refer to the steps below:
1. Pour delimer solution onto the generator surface. Follow the delimer manufacturer’s instruction for proper
mixture and use. If using a chemical cleaner, please check to see it is safe to use on the metal. Please follow all
precautions and safety 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 sur-
face with clean water. Please note, to ensure proper steaming, some calcium/mineral deposits must be present
on the generator surface. If during cleaning, the surface 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 create a thin coating of
calcium/mineral deposits. Please note, in soft water areas, it may be necessary to add a small amount of lime
to the generator surface to season it. This will ensure proper steaming by producing a thin coating of calcium/
mineral deposits on the generator surface. Seasoning mixture consists of ¾ ounce baking soda, ¾ ounce lime
mixed with 1 quart of water. Stir mixture and pour ¼” 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 outlet
4. Turn the power on and allow the unit to warm up for approximately 30 minutes.
5. Push and release the steam button several times to purge the remaining delimer residue from the generator
surface.
6. Turn the unit’s power off; re-install all parts and accessories before using again.
Water Tank Filter Maintenance
The water tank filter is used to prevent particles or food products from entering and damaging the water pump. In
-
spect and clean this filter monthly by following these steps:
1. Turn the power off, unplug the cord and allow unit to cool down before proceeding.
2. Open the slide door.
3.
Remove the water tank filter located inside the tank by pulling it upwards and out of the bottom hole. (Fig.2)
4.
Clean the filter by running it under tap water. Replace the water tank filter if the screen is torn or damaged.
