To keep your connectionless steamer in proper working condition, use the following

4. Plastic or wood handle brush with soft bristles
5. Spray bottle
6. Measuring cup
7. Nylon pad
8. Towels
9. Plastic disposable gloves
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 electri-
cal part, or on the side or rear panels.
b. To remove material which may be stuck to the unit, use a fiber
brush or a plastic or rubber scraper with a detergent solution.
c. Stainless steel surfaces may be polished with a recognized stain-
less steel cleaner such as Zepper®.
2. Interior Cleaning
Clean the unit daily or as residue builds upon the bottom of the oven cavity.
a. Press the ON/OFF rocker switch to OFF to turn the steamer off.
Open the door.
b. Drain the water from the unit into the drain pan and allow the unit
to cool before cleaning. (Note: If the cavity is full of water, the
drain pan will not hold the entire amount and must be emptied
more than once.)
c. After the unit has cooled, remove pan and pan racks from the cavity.
d. Use a mold detergent to wipe down the steamer cavity, the float/
probe on the inside back panel wall and the pan racks.
e. Rinse the unit to remove detergent.

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.
