5. Operating Instructions
The Delta Glass Rinser is designed for efficient and thorough rinsing of various drinkware.
- Position Drinkware: Place the mouth of the glass, bottle, or cup face down over the rinser's star-shaped base.
- Activate Rinser: Gently press down on the drinkware. This action activates powerful water jets that spray upwards, thoroughly rinsing the interior of the item.
- Rinse Residue: The high-pressure water jets effectively remove residue from hard-to-reach areas. The subtle overhang of the rinser directs the water flow directly into the kitchen sink for easy cleanup.
- Release: Lift the drinkware off the rinser to stop the water flow.
