If deposits are still excessive and/or difficult to remove, please refer to the steps below:
1. Pour delimer solution onto the generator surface. Follow the delimer manufacturer’s instruction for proper
mixture and use. If using a chemical cleaner, please check to see it is safe to use on the metal. Please follow all
precautio ns and safety warnings on the product label.
2. Using a sponge or a dry towel, remove the delimer solution from the generator surface and then rinse the surface
with clean water.
Please note: to ensure proper steaming, some calcium/mineral deposits must be present on the generator surface.
If during cleaning, the surface does become free of calcium/mineral deposits, add plain tap water to the surface
and allow it to boil off. If necessary, repeat this process to create a thin coating of calcium/mineral deposits.
Please note: In soft water areas, it may be necessary to add a small amount of lime to the generator surface to
season it. This will ensure prop e r ste aming by producing a thin coating of calcium/mineral deposits on the
generator surface.
Seasoning mixture consists of ¾ ounce baking soda, ¾ ounce lime mixed with 1 quart of water. Stir mixture and
pour ¼” deep onto the hot generator surface. After mixture is converted to steam, the remaining loose powder can
be removed.
