components may cause condensation

steam arm in an upward direction (from
the torso towards the face).

3.1 Maintain a clean heating element. Clean
the heating element on a regular basis.
Mineral build-up on the heating element
may be expelled through the steam arm.
The tiny particulates may be hot and be
projected like water "spitting."
This will allow the
