CLEANING
When you are done using your sterilizer, you
need to empty the water from the unit, rinse
thoroughly and dry completely. This procedure
needs to be done daily. Do not leave water in
the unit overnight. Rinse thoroughly between
water changes. Store your sterilizer in a dry
area. On your next use, fill the sterilizer with
clean distilled water. Distilled water is the
recommended water. If distilled water is not
available, then you may use your local water. If
your local water supply contains lime or high
levels of minerals, the unit will require periodic
cleaning to remove and prevent the buildup of
deposits.
Units should be cleaned whenever there is a
buildup of lime or mineral deposits. After many
cycles, a white deposit may begin to form on
the bottom of the sterilizer. We recommend
cleaning with a lime remover. Manufacturers of
coffee makers have cleaning solutions which
may be used. There are also solutions available
at your local hardware and drug stores that can
be used to clean aluminum. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions and make up a
solution of the cleaner, filling your sterilizer
above the standard operating level. Let the
sterilizer stand a few minutes then rinse
thoroughly. You may have to repeat this
procedure a few times to fully remove the lime
and mineral deposits from your sterilizer.
You may also use standard white vinegar to
clean your sterilizer. Fill your sterilizer above the
standard operating level with vinegar and let it
stand a few minutes then rinse thoroughly. You
may have to repeat this procedure a few times
to fully remove the lime and mineral deposits
from your sterilizer.
Never heat the sterilizer when filled
with a cleaning solution.
Elevation above
sea level
At altitudes greater than sea level, settings need to
be adequately adjusted to compensate for the effect
of altitude on the boiling point of water. We suggest
you increase pressure by 0.5psi for every 1000 ft.
of elevation above sea level.
City Altitude Steam Pressure Required
Sea level 15-17 psi
2000 ft 16-18 psi
4000 ft 17-19 psi
6000 ft 18-20 psi
8000 ft 19-21 psi
10,000 ft 20-22 psi
