CLEANING MODEL EZ-3 & EZ-5 COUNTERTOP STEAMERS
particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE
BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PAD, SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces which are
marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility
of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.

technician clean and adjust the unit for maximum performance. Semiannual cleaning should include the
