Care & Cleaning
 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.
Before storing the unit
● 
Dry it thoroughly.
●
