delimer’s manufacturer. If using a chemical cleaner, make sure it is safe to use on the generator surface.
2. Remove delimer solution from generator with a sponge or dry towel. Rinse generator with clean water.

is removed during cleaning, add distilled water to surface, and allow it to boil o. Repeat as needed until the
generator surface is thinly coated in calcium/mineral deposits.
NOTE: It may be necessary to season the generator surface with lime if using soft water. Seasoning creates a thin
coating of calcium/mineral deposits on the generator to ensure proper steaming.

the mixture to boil o. Remove any loose powder that remains.
