CARE & MAINTENANCE
•Water is a foodstuff. We recommend using the filtered
water within 3 days. If the appliance is not used for more
than 72 hours the water system will need draining. Unplug
the appliance and take it to the sink. Unscrew the drainage
cap located on the underside of the appliance and remove
the silicon bung over a sink. Allow all water to drain out of
the system. Re-insert the drainage bung and screw on the
cap. Repeat the process in section 3. first use, to refill the
appliance to continue use.
•Should the appliance not be used for an extended period of
time (for example a holiday) we recommend that the filter
is removed and placed in a clean plastic bag and stored in
the fridge. This will help to maintain the filter when not in

4
use. Before using the filter after storage, follow the
preparation and fitting instructions for use as normal.
•Do not overfill the water tank, do not fill above the “MAX”
fill to avoid risk of water overflow in the inner water tank.
