Before Use; Operating Precautions - Panasonic TK7585-SHK Instruction Manual

Operating Precautions

Do not lift the 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 continuously produce alkaline ion
water or weak acidic water beyond the
time spans given in the table on the right.
If water is produced for longer periods than
the ones shown on the right, the "U27" error
code (see page 79) will appear on the LCD
display, and electrolysis will be suspended.

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 weak 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.
