retort. Before performing retort cleaning, use
the supplied paraffin scraper to carefully
remove the deposits from the retort lid and
areas around the retort, and wipe off the
scraped deposits using paper towels, etc. Be
careful not to damage the edges of the retort
lid gaskets with the paraffin scraper. Use
paper towels, etc., to wipe off deposits on the
retort lid gaskets.

cleaning is complete, clean the retort lid,
interior walls of the retort and areas around
the retort.
