Check cleaning and drying by part
Look for removable pieces and follow the manufacturer’s directions.
Check what can be removed
A bulb, nozzle, hose and valve may have separate cleaning instructions. Do not pry off a fixed piece.
Follow the stated material limits
Read the directions for each part. A label such as silicone may describe only the bulb, with a different material used for the nozzle.
Dry before packing away
Dry each piece as directed before reassembly or storage. Replace cracked or damaged parts with manufacturer-confirmed components.
