2.7 Weekly Cleaning
The continuous filling and evaporation of water from the cooker will cause deposits to build up
around the tank. At least once a week the unit should be thoroughly cleaned to remove these deposits
and generally clean the unit. Perform the cleaning as described below:

operating temperature.
h. Allow the cooker to soak for approximately twenty (20) minutes to remove deposits.

abrasives or scouring pads can be used to clean stains, if necessary. DO NOT use steel wool
pads.
