The Philips water purier offers you clean, safe and great-tasting drinking
water you can trust. For optimal performance of the water purier it
is important to handle it hygienically. If the appliance is cleaned in the
wrong way, microbes could recontaminate the puried water, which could
cause the person who drinks the water to become ill.
- Always be aware of hygiene when you clean or touch surfaces that
are in contact with puried water, especially the inside of the water
reservoir, the connection between the water reservoir and the wall
holder, and the water reservoir tap.
- Do not use a kitchen sponge or cloth to clean or dry the inside of
the water reservoir because they are likely to contain bacteria. To clean
the water reservoir in a hygienic way, follow the cleaning instructions in
chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’.


- Always use clean, disinfected cloths and cleaning equipment to clean
the connection between the water reservoir and the wall holder and
the water reservoir tap.
- Always disinfect cloths and cleaning equipment either by boiling them
or by using a disinfectant to clean them. We advise you to soak a cloth
or sponge for one minute in a solution of 10ml of household bleach
(5% solution of sodium hypochlorite) added to 1 liter of water.
- Always clean surfaces that are frequently touched by hands hygienically
with a cleaner or a disinfectant. For more details, see chapter ‘Cleaning
and maintenance’.
- Always wash your hands after handling cloths, sponges or other
cleaning equipment.
