De-scaling

Why…| Normally tap-water contains minerals. When water is heated to a certain temperature, there will be scales accumulated on the heater or surface of the appliance, which will affect its performance and contaminate the outlook as well.
---|---
When…| We suggest cleaning the machine after every 20 times of use, or when accumulated working time amounts to 100 hours or less. Or you can clean your appliance at different intervals as water quality varies in different places.
Preparation| Food grade vinegar (e.g. white vinegar)
How…| 1. Add water into the water bath up to the MAX marking. Then add 5g vinegar. CAUTION: Should any vinegar splash onto your eyes, rinse immediately with fresh water and turn to a doctor if needed!

2.    Turn on the machine and set the working temperature to 80°C and working time to 3 hours (03:00). Now press  to start cleaning. After 3 hours, the machine will beep then turn off automatically.

3.    Dispose of the solution of water and vinegar properly. Do not use the same solution for a second time. If the results are not satisfactory, repeat the above operations.

4.    Clean the unit with fresh water thoroughly, then dry and store in a well-ventilated place.

Note: Make sure to clean the water filters (located on the inner wall) well. The filters can be screwed off for thorough cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Failure to descale or maintain will invalidate your guarantee.
