5.3 Temperature Retention
The PYY Insulated Beverage Dispenser is designed for excellent temperature retention:
- Hot Beverages: In an ambient temperature of 20°C ± 5°C, 100°C hot water will decrease by approximately 2°C per hour.
- Cold Beverages: A 1:1 mixture of ice and water at 4°C will remain virtually unmelted for the first 6 hours.
6. Care and Maintenance
6.1 Daily Cleaning
- After each use, empty any remaining beverage.
- Disassemble the spigot for thorough cleaning. Wash all parts with warm, soapy water using a soft brush or sponge.
- Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water.
- Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent odor and mildew.
6.2 Deep Cleaning (Monthly or as needed)
- For stubborn stains or odors, a solution of baking soda and water can be used. Fill the dispenser with warm water and a few tablespoons of baking soda, let it sit for several hours or overnight, then scrub and rinse thoroughly.
- Ensure all seals and O-rings are clean and free from debris to maintain leak-proof performance.
6.3 Storage
Store the dispenser in a clean, dry place. Ensure the lid is slightly ajar or removed to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
