Cleaning and care
Lava rocks
Clean the lava rocks on a regular basis.
To do so, put the rocks in a container with mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. Let them soak briefly, stirring occasionally. Drain water and rinse rocks. Repeat this process 2 to 3 times with fresh water. Lay the rocks on a large kitchen towel to dry.
Cleaning the lava rocks removes the used layer to expose a fresh surface. The rate at which the lava rocks become worn depends on the frequency and duration of use.
If the amount of lava rocks in the lava rock container has deceased by half, the container must be refilled.
Water trough
Let the water cool to a safe temperature to prevent burns.
Place a container (large enough to hold all water in the trough) under the drain valve.
Slowly open the drain valve by turning it counterclockwise, .
Once the water has drained, close the drain valve by turning it clockwise, until the water flow stops.
Fill the water trough with a mild solution of liquid dish soap and warm water, and rinse it out thoroughly. Use a bottle brush to clean the drain
Allow the solution to drain.
Rinse with warm water and dry.
Do not use stainless steel conditioner on the water trough.
Make sure that the underside of the appliance is always accessible for draining away the water. Remember to let the water cool before draining to prevent burns.
