MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Frequency of cleaning is de-
termined by water conditions,
usage and water lter systems
Recommended water hardness,
or Total Dissolved Solids (TDS),
should not exceed 60 ppm (parts
per million)
Daily Cleaning
1. Press the Power button to turn the
unit o. The unit enters a cool-
down mode and will shut down
automatically.
NOTE: You do not need to wait until
the cool down mode completes.
However, the unit will be hot so
wear heat resistant gloves during
cleaning.
2. Put on heat resistant gloves and
remove the items in Figure 3.
3. Wash, rinse, and sanitize the items
removed at the sink. Allow to air dry.
4. Wipe the exterior of the unit and the
inner part of the basket cavity with a
clean, sanitized towel. Clean up any
spills completely. Allow to air dry.
5. Reassemble the unit.
Monthly Cleaning
This unit utilizes an open steam genera-
tor. When introduced, water immediately
vaporizes creating a burst of steam, leaving
behind any minerals that had previously
been dissolved. Though a small amount of
minerals are necessary for proper operation,
excessive amounts will cause poor steaming
and may damage the generator.
1. Press the Power button to turn the
unit o. The unit enters a cool-
down mode and will shut down
automatically.
NOTE: You do not need to wait until
the cool down mode completes.
However, the unit will be hot so
wear heat resistant gloves during
cleaning.
2. Put on heat resistant gloves and
remove the items in Figure 3.
3. Wash, rinse, and sanitize the items
removed at the sink. Allow to air dry.
4. Wipe the exterior of the unit and the
inner part of the basket cavity with a
clean, sanitized towel. Clean up any
spills completely. Allow to air dry.
5. Reassemble the unit.
6. Put on heat resistant gloves and
remove the items in Figure 3.
7. Remove wing nut and generator
cover bracket, generator cover, and
diusers (Figure 4).
8. Examine all steam generator orices
(holes). If mineral deposits have
formed, place a at blade screw-
driver into openings. Use a twisting
motion to scrape openings clean.
NOTE: If the mineral deposits come o
in “akes”or in layers, build-up is
excessive.
9. Use an abrasive cleaning brush and
small scraper to remove deposits
from the generator surface.
10. Pour delimer solution (not supplied)
onto the generator surface and allow
to soak for one hour.

11. Remove the delimer solution from
the generator and rinse with clear
water to remove traces of delimer.
NOTE: To ensure proper steaming char-
acteristics some mineral deposits
must be present on generator
casting.
If during cleaning, the casting
does become free of mineral
deposits, add ordinary tap water
(non reverse osmosis or ionic
lter system) to casting and allow
to boil o.

Checking and Cleaning Water
Strainer
To ensure proper and consistent steaming
results, inspect the water pressure regula-
tor gauge and strainer cup regularly. If the
water pressure on the gauge has dropped,
visually check the clear plastic strainer cup
and clean out the accumulated debris as
follows:
1. Shut o the water supply valve to
the unit. Unscrew the clear plastic
strainer cup and carefully remove
the mesh strainer screen.
2. At the sink, gently ush all of the
accumulated debris from the strainer
cup and mesh strainer screen. Be
especially careful not to damage the
mesh strainer screen.
3. Carefully place the mesh strainer
screen into its seat at the bottom
of the clear plastic cup and conrm
that the O-ring is properly seated in
its place before screwing the strainer
cup and top back together.
4. Purge the air out of the strainer tub-
ing by disconnecting the male quick
disconnect tting from the equip-
ment and, over a bucket, pushing
its valve core in until there is a good
water ow.
NOTE: In soft water areas, it may be
necessary to add a small amount
of lime to generator to “season”
it. This will ensure proper steam-
ing characteristics by producing
a thin coating of mineral deposits
on the casting.
Seasoning mixture consists of 75
ml. (2-1/4 oz.) baking soda, 75
ml. (2-1/4 oz.) lime, and 1 gallon
water. Pour 1/4” deep of season-
ing mixture into a cold generator.
Turn the unit on. After mixture is
converted to steam, the remain-
ing loose powder is removed and
generator cleaned.
12. Wash, rinse, and sanitize the items
removed in Step 2 at the sink. Allow
to air dry.
13. Wipe the exterior of the unit and the
inner part of the basket cavity with
a clean, sanitized towel. Allow to air
dry.
14. Re-install the diusers, generator
cover, generator cover bracket and
secure with the wing nut.
