Please do not bend the spray tube. Bending it will cause permanent damage.

• Use a scraper to remove the excessive calcium/mineral buildup from the gene rator surface

• Thoroughly wipe the gene rator with a damp cloth to remove any loose buildup and reassemb l e the unit

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.

3. Plug the power cord into the outlet

4. Turn the power on and allow the unit to warm up for approximately 30 minutes.
