Operating Precautions - Panasonic TK-AS40 Instruction Manual

Operating Precautions

■ Do not lift the main unit by taking hold of
the outlet pipe
(otherwise damage may result).
■ Do not use the Alkaline Ionizer if the
outlet pipe is loose
(otherwise damage may result).
※ If it has come loose, screw it in securely.
■ Do not run the following types of water
through the Alkaline Ionizer
(since it will shorten the service life of the
cartridge):
• Water which is very turbid
• Water containing a great deal of red rust.
■ Do not run well water containing sea water
or other salt content (from wells near
coastal area) through the Alkaline Ionizer
(otherwise trouble may result).
■ Do not use the unit continuously for
more than 30 minutes to generate
alkaline ion water or acidic water.
If it is operated for more than 30 minutes,
electrolysis is stopped in order to protect the
Alkaline Ionizer. (See page 54.)
Three long beeps in succession are heard
from the buzzer, and then purified water will
come out from the spout.
Turn off the faucet, and wait
approximately 3 minutes before using
the unit again.

■ Depending on the region and water
quality, it may not be possible to obtain
the designated pH level. In cases like
this, use tap water.
■ When using the Alkaline Ionizer in areas
where the water is very hard ※
• Once a day, run acidic water through the
Alkaline Ionizer for about a minute before
use (otherwise calcium will build up on
the main spout and along the water lines,
hindering the passage of the water).
※
In areas where the water is very hard,
soap will not lather easily and white
deposits (calcium) will build up in kettles
and pans.
