CAUTION

Chlories or phosphates in cleasnsing agents such as bleach, sanitizers, degreasers, or detergents could cause permanent damage to the sainless steel equipmenet. The damage is ususally in the form of discoloration, dulling of metal surface fin- ish, pits, voids, holes, or cracks. This damage is permanent and is not covered by warranty. The following tips are recommended for maintenance of your stainless steel equipment:

Always use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning, rinse with clear water, and wipe dry. When required, always rub in the direction of the metal polish lines.

Routine cleaning should be done daily using soap, ammonia detergent, and water.

Stains and sopts should be sponged using a vinegar solution.

Finger marks and smears should be removed using soap and water.

Hard water spots should be sponged using a vinegar solution.

Daily cleaning

1.Turn the Rocker Switch (Power On/Off) to OFF. Unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool down before proceeding.

2.Check the rear water quick disconnect fitting and all hose clamp connections for leakage. If leak- age is apparent, tighten all clamps or replace part(s) if necessary.

3.Remove the basket(s), top cover housing assem- bly, and the drip tray, wash them in hot soapy water, rinse and allow to air dry.

4.Remove the Black Manifold Plate by slightly lifting and sliding the Locking Lever (on the right side of the unit) towards the rear, carefully remove the plate and remove the large black O-ring from the plate. Remove the diffuser plate, remove the spray tube by carefully lifting the loose end and gently twisting and pulling it out of the steam generator hole. Take a suitable 1/16” punching tool (such as a large paperclip) and fully insert it through all 12 orifices in the black mani- fold as well as through the six orifices in the spray tube. This will assure that the orifices are not obstructed with debris. Wash all items in hot soapy water, rinse, and allow them to air dry.

5.Reinstall the spray tube into the steam generator hole and reinstall the diffuser plate.

6.Lightly apply some Petro Gel (supplied) onto the large black O-ring and reinstall the O-ring onto the manifold plate (this will allow the manifold plate to seat easily onto the steam generator). Hold the manifold plate up to a light and verify that light is visible through all of the orifices. If so, seat the manifold fully onto the generator and pull the locking lever forward to lock the plate.

7.Check that the Water Pressure Regulator is cor- rectly set at 20-25 PSI (1.4 to 1.7 kg/cm2 or 138- 172 kPa.)

8.Reinstall all parts and accessories. Plug power cord into electrical outlet.
