Cleaning
To keep your HY-5G Steamer in proper working condition, use the following procedure to clean the unit. This
regular cleaning will reduce the effort required to clean the steam generator and cavity.
A. Suggested Tools
1. Mild detergent
2. Stainless steel exterior cleaner such as
Zepper®
3. Steam generator de-liming agent, such as
Groen Delimer Descaler (Part Number
114800), commercial Lime-Away® (not the
store brand for residential use) or an equivalent.
A liquid de-liming agent will be easier to use than
crystals or powders. See the warning about
chlorides, below
4. De-greaser, such as EncompasS®, Malone 34®,
Puritan Puribrute®, or Con-Lie®
5. Cloth or sponge
6. Plastic wool or a brush with soft bristles
7. Spray bottle
8. Measuring cup
9. Nylon pad
10. Towels
11. Plastic disposable gloves
12. Funnel
B. Procedure
1. Exterior Cleaning
a. Prepare a warm solution of the mild detergent
as instructed by the supplier. Wet a cloth with
this solution and wring it out. Use the moist
cloth to clean the outside of the unit. Do not
allow freely running liquid to touch the
controls, the control panel, any electrical part,
or any louver on the side or rear panels.
b. To remove material which may be stuck to the
unit, use plastic wool, a fiber brush, or a plastic
or rubber scraper with a detergent solution.
c. Stainless steel surfaces may be polished with a
recognized stainless steel cleaner such as
