To keep your 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
generator and cavity.
A. Suggested Tools
1. Mild detergent
2. Stainless steel exterior cleaner such as Zepper®
3. Steam generator de-liming agent. 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
12. Funnel
B. Procedure
1. Exterior Cleaning
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 louver on the side or rear panels.
b. To remove material which may be stuck to the unit, use plastic
wool, a fiber brush, or a plastic or rubber scraper with a detergent
solution.
c. Stainless steel surfaces may be polished with a recognized
stainless steel cleaner such as Zepper®.
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 ANY STAINLESS STEEL
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.
