  - The temperature of the water should be checked with a thermometer after every adjustment, before using the HotPacs
  - Always keep the water level over the top of the HotPacs to avoid burning or scorching of the packs
  - Never allow the HotPacs to dry after use
  - Check water level daily as it has a natural loss due to evaporation

  - Do not clean the unit with carbon steel wool or a carbon steel brush
  - Use only soft cloth, Scotch-Brite type scouring pads of green, blue, or white abrasiveness, or stainless steel wool if absolutely necessary

  - Regularly clean and drain the tank (every two weeks)
  - Failure to properly maintain the unit will cause premature wear and will void the warranty
  - Remove all deposits from interior surfaces and parts
  - The deposits are concentrations of minerals that will allow rusting to begin
  - If allowed to accumulate on the heating element, these deposits will lower the
  efficiency of the element and increase the power consumption of the unit
  - Exercise extreme care if cleaning the element or thermostat(s)
  - These components can be easily damaged without proper care or caution
  - If you suspect that you have hard water, you may need to change the water and clean the unit more frequently
  - Salt deposits are an indication of hard water that will eventually cause rust
• Cleaning Tips:
  - Check for low or no chlorine content in your cleaner and make sure that the residue is thoroughly rinsed away with water
  - strong solution of vinegar and water may be used to dissolve away deposits, which then must be thoroughly rinsed away
  - Results may vary
  - For exterior cleaning, use stainless steel polish and a soft cloth only
  - Numerous industrial stainless steel polishes are available from various supply companies
  - Use of any cleaner except stainless steel polish on the exterior of the unit is not recommended
