To ensure proper steaming character-

This may have to be repeated several

characteristics by creating a thin layer
of deposits on the surface.

Do not use a sanitizing solution or
abrasive materials. The use of these

or cracks. This damage is permanent
and not covered by warranty.

Always use soft, damp cloth for clean-
ing, rinse with clear water and wipe
