1. Turn o power to the ionizer by pressing the circle side of the power switch
located at the bottom of the ionizer.
2. Release the #2 lter cover (located on the left side when looking at the back
of the ionizer) by pushing up on the lter cover. Remove cover.
3. Remove the #2 lter by twisting the lter counter clockwise and then
lifting it out of the ionizer.
4. Remove the clear plastic packaging and black cap from the bottom of the
Citric Acid (Scaling) Cleaning Filter.
5. Before installing the lter, lube up the large outer O-ring with either olive oil
or vaseline. Line up the 2 tabs on the lter to the lter base in the ionizer.
6. Once you have aligned the tabs on the lter with the ionizer, press down and
twist the lter clockwise until it stops. Make sure the blue circle with lter
name is facing out toward you. If not, the ionizer will not run.
7. Replace the cover and turn the power switch back on.
8. Apply water pressure, press the “ON/OFF” button and produce water for 15
seconds. The display will show “CLEAN” while doing this. Press the “ON/OFF”
button to stop extraction. For counter top applications, remove the acidic
tube from the sink and fasten it to the ionizer ensuring that the cleaning solu-
tion will not leak out of the ionizer.
Now let the unit sit for a minimum of 6-8 hours or for best results, overnight.
The unit is full of a citric acid solution that will take many hours to break down
the scale that has built up in your unit. Letting it sit in the unit for over a 6 hour
period is okay and will not harm the ionizer.
9. Once the unit has sat for the recommended time, (leaving scaling
lter in place) unfasten the acidic tube from the ionizer and place it back in
the sink (for counter top applications) and then press the center “ON/OFF”
button. Let the unit extract water for 3-5 minutes. This step will purge all of
the citric solution, along with any scale, out of the machine.
The cleaning process is now complete. Remove the scaling lter and throw
it way or recycle it and reinstall a #2 lter with the circled number facing out
toward you.
NOTE: If you are putting in any new lters, do so after the cleaning.
