HAZARD

Deliming chemicals are caustic. Wear appropriate protective gloves and goggles during this procedure.

Never siphon deliming chemicals or solutions by

mouth.

This operation should only be performed by qualified and ex- perienced service personnel.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT spill, splash or pour water or deliming solution into or over any internal component other than the inside of the water tank.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow

any internal components to come into contact with the deliming solution. Take care to keep all internal components dry.

NOTE: Repeat steps 4 thru 5 as required to remove all scale and lime build-up.

NOTE: Normally, silicone hoses do not need to be delimed. Should deliming hoses become necessary, Bloomfield recommends replacing the hoses.
