Cleaning
To keep your HY-6E Steamer in proper working condition/order, use the following procedure to clean the unit.
This regular cleaning will reduce the effort required to clean the steam generators and cavities.
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 (P/N 114800),
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. Outside
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 open
louver.
b. To remove material which may be stuck to the
unit, use plastic w
ool, 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
Zepper®.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT USE ANY METAL MATERIAL (SUCH AS METAL SPONGES) OR METAL IMPLEMENT (SUCH AS A
SPOON, SCRAPER OR WIRE BRUSH) THAT MIGHT SCRATCH THE SURFACE. SCRATCHES MAKE THE
SURFACE HARD TO CLEAN AND PROVIDE PLACES FOR BACTERIA TO GROW. DO NOT USE STEEL
WOOL, WHICH MAY LEAVE PARTICLES IMBEDDED IN THE SURFACE WHICH COULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE
CORROSION AND PITTING.
