• Fill a pot with enough water to
cover all parts.
• Bring water to a boil.
• Place parts in boiling water for
10 minutes.
Note
If you notice a white residue on your
parts after boiling, you may have a
high mineral content in your water.
Remove residue by wiping parts with
a clean washcloth and air dry. We
recommended that you boil parts with
distilled water to prevent substantial
mineral build-up over time which may
compromise your parts.
