  1. Before each cleaning procedure, disconnect appliance from its electrical power source and allow to cool for at least one half hour.
  2. Place empty pan under drain valve, open valve, and allow evaporator to drain.
  3. Remove and clean rack supports using a food-grade germicidal agent. Clean probe (if included) with mild soap and water.
  4. Add warm fresh tap water to the reservoir.
  5. Mix in 8 oz (227g) of Citranox liquid detergent to the fresh water (assumes average reservoir is 2.5 gal (9.5L) capacity).
  6. Allow the Citranox solution to soak for 30 minutes to help dissolve scale buildup.
  7. Dip a cloth in the Citranox solution and wipe inner walls of equipment and areas with high scale buildup. Use a scrub pad for caked-on scale.
  8. Drain Citranox solution.
  9. Rinse equipment evaporator and inner walls with fresh tap water.
