IMPORTANT: Never wash element in gasoline or any
solvent. Never use compressed air on a
wet element. Do not oil element.
1. If element is coated with oil or soot, wash in a solution
of warm water . Let element soak at least 15 minutes,
then agitate gently to flush out dirt.
2. Rinse element thoroughly from inside with clean water.
Use element cleaning gun or a free-running hose.
Keep water pressure low (below 280 kPa or 40 psi) to
avoid damaging element.

1. Hold a bright light (A) inside element (B) and check
carefully for holes. Discard any element which shows
the slightest hole.
