Cautions
Before cleaning, be sure to disconnect the plug from outlet, dispense water and allow the
unit to cool .
Main unit and lid
●
Do not wet or soak the main unit in water.
If water enters the main unit from the bottom or from the dispensing
spout, it can get into the electrical components in the main unit
and may cause a malfunction.
●
Do not use detergents.
●
Do not use benzine or thinner.
(They may leave an odor.) (They may damage the surface.)
Clean with a damp, well-wrung cloth.
Inner container
●
Do not use abrasives
such as polishing
powder, a scrub brush
or a nylon brush. They may damage the
fluororesin finish of the inner container.
Clean with a wet sponge.
Clean the inner container using
citric acid. (See P.21)
About "Scale"
While you are using this unit, minerals
contained in the water (like calcium) can get
stuck on the inner container or on the mesh
filter. This is called "scale", and it is harmless.
●
Milky-white gritty surface (caused by calcium)
●
White or glittering floating material
(crystals of minerals)
●
Discoloration in the finish like dark brown,
gray, or green areas
(metallic ion formed on the fluororesin covering)
This is not discoloration or corrosion of the
inner container itself, nor is it flakes from the
fluororesin covering.
Mesh filter
When filter is clogged, water does not flow
smoothly.
* After cleaning the filter,
be sure to reattach it
to the inner container
.
Clean the filter with a brush.
