or scouring powder as it will scratch stainless steel. Plain steel wool can leave small pieces
of steel which can rust.

the optional tangent draw-off valve to allow the detergent and water solution to drain.

counterclockwise until it is completely disengaged from the threads. Grasp the valve knob
and slowly pull out the valve stem. Wash the valve stem, disk and handle. Insert a nylon
brush, wet with detergent and water, into the valve body and tangent draw-off tube. Brush
vigorously.

warm water.
