PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Some preventive procedures are necessary for the best functioning and durability
of your Cristófoli Distiller:
Use
only
regular tap water (potable water provided by the urban water system) or
filtered water;
Keep the distiller clean. The water tray must be cleaned after each distillation
cycle, it is removable and can be immersed in water, washed manually or put into
the dishwasher.
Never get the main unit wet or put it in a dishwasher;
The cleaning of the external plastic surfaces must be done daily. Use a cloth
dampened with
biodegradable neutral detergent, next, clean them with another
cloth
dampened
with alcohol 70% or peracetic acid at 1%, make smooth
movements in one direction only.
It is important to clean the distiller internal parts (heating element, filter and boiling
tray) regularly. The continuous use of the equipment will result in mineral deposits
build-up on these areas which may cause the distiller to stop working or work
deficiently in case they are not cleaned periodically, the residues will adhere
mostly to the filter, which can be washed and reused, the filter
must be replaced
every other 3 months
or before that depending on the water quality.
To remove the scales, follow the cleaning instruction below periodically:
- Fill the boiling tray with white vinegar or lemon vinegar, let it rest for at least 3
hours. The cleaning solution will soften the scale deposits. After that, remove the
boiling tray from the base unit and wash it. Fill it again with regular tap water to
rinse the lower part of the main unit. Finally, clean it with a soft damp cloth or
sponge.
