put vinegar in a metal container enough to cover the element, drop in the heater and
turn it on let it heat up and the deposits will dissolve. keep a close eye on it. I
wouldnt scrape the deposits off, that could damage the element. the element on mine
was wire encased in some metal. the metal was eaten thru and the wire exposed. Not
good. Ingrid

I think, after all, it may just be deposits. Thanks!
