CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse the AquaVié™ Healthy Water System unit, its boiling chamber, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
Do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent.
BOILING CHAMBER
Rinse the boiling chamber after every AquaVié™ Healthy Water System cycle is completed. IMPORTANT: Allow the unit to cool completely before removing and rinsing the boiling chamber. Remove the baffle by unscrewing its securing nut. Inspect the baffle for scale deposits. Any scale can be loosened and removed by bending and rolling the baffle. Half fill the boiling chamber with tap water, agitate and discard the water. The water may be drained through the spout. Securely reinstall the baffle and securing nut.
It is important to wipe off all water deposits inside the AquaVié™ chassis, on the base of the chassis and also all water deposits on the outside bottom of the boiling chamber between each Water System cycle. If this is not done, corrosion of the unit or electrical hazard may occur or it may cause the AquaVié™ unit to shut off early, before producing a full gallon of water.
Heavy scale deposits should be removed from the boiling chamber whenever they exceed 1⁄16 of an inch (.16 cm). Add enough plain white distilled vinegar to the boiling chamber so that the scale deposits are covered. Allow the vinegar to stand for at least twenty minutes and then discard. Rinse the boiling chamber. Repeat this process if necessary. Do not heat vinegar in boiling chamber. A descaler or coffeemaker or kettle cleaner may also be used to clean the boiling chamber.
WATER BOTTLE
Sanitize Water Bottle: It is recommended that this be done whenever an undesirable taste is detected in your AquaVié™ water. See page 3 under Prepare Your AquaVié™ Healthy Water System Unit for instructions on sanitizing the water bottle.
OUTSIDE SURFACES
Use a common household glass or appliance cleaner or a damp soft cloth to clean the AquaVié™ unit’s outside surfaces. Do not use abrasive or solvent based cleaners.
Do not spray cleaning products directly onto the AquaVié™ unit.
The unit’s cooling system vents (see diagram on page 3) should be vacuumed occasionally or cleaned with a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Failure to do so may cause the unit to overheat, shut off early, or emit a foul odor.
MINERAL DISPENSER
Your AquaVié™ unit comes with a disposable mineral dispenser cup. For healthier, great tasting water, replace your mineral dispenser after producing 20 gallons of AquaVié™
