Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your distiller and ensure optimal performance.
Cleaning the Distiller Tank:
- After each use, allow the distiller to cool down.
- Remove any remaining water and residue from the stainless steel tank.
- For stubborn mineral deposits (limescale), use the provided citric acid powder. Fill the tank with warm water, add 1-2 tablespoons of citric acid, and let it soak for several hours or overnight.
- Scrub the interior with a non-abrasive brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Replacing Activated Carbon Filters:
The activated carbon filter helps to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and improve water taste. It is recommended to change the activated carbon packs regularly, typically every 2-3 months depending on usage.
- Invert the distiller lid and carefully remove the nozzle.
- Replace the old activated carbon pack with a new one.
- Insert the nozzle positioning card first, then push the nozzle down into the machine until it clicks into place.
