scrubbed daily to maintain peak performance and appearance. Use warm water with a mild detergent to clean surfaces. Wipe down the cooker using a clean soft cloth to clean up excess water.
It is especially important to keep the heating element free from starch deposits. A build up of starch on the heating element will shorten the life span of the element.
2.7WEEKLY CLEANING
The continuous filling and evaporation of water from the cooker will cause deposits to build up around the tank. At least once a week the unit should be thoroughly cleaned to remove these deposits and generally clean the unit. Perform the cleaning as described below:
a.Ensure the POWER switch is OFF.
b.Ensure the drain valve is closed.
c.Fill the cooking tank with water and add 8 oz. of Pitco cleaner (if Pitco cleaner is not available mild detergent may be used).

e.Turn the FUNCTION SELECT switch to SIMMER and allow the cooker to reach normal operating temperature.
f.Allow the cooker to soak for approximately twenty (20) minutes to remove deposits.
g.Use the cleaning brush to remove any hardened deposits from the tank surfaces. Mild abrasives or scouring pads can be used to clean stains, if necessary. DO NOT use steel wool pads.
h.When the cleaning is complete, turn the POWER switch OFF.
i.Drain the water from the tank.
j.When the tank has cooled, rinse it thoroughly with cool water. Continue to rinse the tank until all detergent has been rinsed away.
k.Clean the holding tank with warm water and a mild detergent.
l.Rinse the tank with cold water until all detergent has been rinsed away.
