5. Setup and First Use
Follow these steps before using your hydrogen water generator for the first time:
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Clean: Wash the pitcher body, lid, and tea strainer with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not immerse the power base in water. Wipe the power base with a damp cloth.
- Placement: Place the power base on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Fill: Fill the pitcher with purified or filtered water between the MIN and MAX indicators. Do not overfill.
- Connect: Place the pitcher securely onto the power base. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
- First Cycle (Cleaning): For the first use, it is recommended to run a full cycle with clean water and then discard the water to clean any manufacturing residues.
6. Operating Instructions
Your VEVOR Hydrogen Water Generator offers flexible control over hydrogen production, temperature, and time.
6.1. Basic Operation
- Ensure the pitcher is filled with water and placed on the power base, and the unit is plugged in.
- The display on the power base will illuminate.
- Use the control button (typically a single button with rotation and press functions) to navigate and select settings.
6.2. Hydrogen Production Modes
The device supports various modes:
- Cold Hydrogen Water Production: Produces hydrogen-rich water without heating.
- Constant Warm Hydrogen Water Production: Maintains a set temperature while producing hydrogen.
- Boiling Hydrogen Water Production: Heats water to boiling point while producing hydrogen.

6.3. Setting Temperature and Time
- Select Desired Water Temperature: Press the control button once to enter temperature selection mode. Rotate the button clockwise to increase the temperature and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
- Set Duration for Constant Temperature / Boiling Hydrogen Production: Press the button again to enter duration setting. Rotate to adjust the time (e.g., 0-12 hours for insulation, 5-30 minutes for hydrogen production). If the duration is set to 00:00, it defaults to boiling with hydrogen production.
- Hydrogen Production While Heating: This mode allows continuous hydrogen production during the heating process.
- Cold Water Hydrogen Production: For hydrogen production without heating, select the appropriate mode and set the hydrogen production time (e.g., 5-30 minutes). In this mode, the pitcher will not heat.

6.4. Memory Function
The device features a convenient memory function. After the unit is turned off or enters standby mode, it automatically recalls the last used function and duration. To quickly resume your previous settings:
- Press the control button three times consecutively. The device will immediately apply the previously used temperature and time settings.

6.5. Brewing Tea and Coffee
The included stainless steel tea strainer allows you to brew tea or coffee directly in the pitcher, enriching your beverages with hydrogen.
- Insert the tea strainer into the pitcher.
- Add your preferred tea leaves or coffee grounds into the strainer.
- Fill the pitcher with water and select your desired temperature and hydrogen production settings.
- After brewing, carefully remove the strainer and discard the contents.
Note: Do not add ice cubes, juice, milk, or carbonated beverages directly into the pitcher, as this can damage the electrolysis components and affect performance.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your appliance.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Rinse the pitcher body, lid, and tea strainer with clean water. For stubborn residues, use a soft sponge and mild dish soap.
- Base Unit: Wipe the power base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the power base in water or any other liquid.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate, especially in hard water areas. To descale, fill the pitcher with a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) or a citric acid solution. Let it sit for 30-60 minutes (do not heat). Empty and rinse thoroughly several times.
- Storage: When not in use for an extended period, ensure the appliance is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place.
