4. Maintenance
- Empty Water: After each use, detach the water tank from the base and carefully empty the used water.
- Clean Tank: Rinse the removable water tank with clean water. For deeper cleaning, wipe the interior with a soft cloth.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
- Storage: Store the device in a clean, dry place when not in use.
5. Troubleshooting
- Device Not Turning On: Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the device and a working electrical outlet.
- Fiddly Power Button: The power button is touch-sensitive. Ensure a firm, direct touch. The LED indicator (white for 5 min, blue for 15 min) confirms mode selection.
- Insufficient Cleaning: Ensure the water level is between the MIN and MAX lines. For stubborn buildup, use the Max Clean Mode and a Zima Dental cleaning tablet.
- Unusual Noise: Some noise during the cleaning cycle is normal due to ultrasonic waves. If the noise is excessive or unusual, discontinue use and contact customer support.
