HOW TO REPLACE THE INNER LID GASKET
The Inner Lid Gasket may need to be replaced due to time and wear. We recommend that you replace it about once a year.
Wipe new Inner Lid Gaskets with a wet soft sponge before attaching to the Inner Lid.
To remove the Inner Lid Gasket
![Zojirushi - Micom CD-WHC40 - To remove the Inner Lid Gasket To remove the Inner Lid Gasket]()
- Remove the three screws, and remove the Inner Lid.
- Do not lose these screws.
- Remove the Inner Lid Gasket which is installed on the Inner Lid.
To attach the Inner Lid Gasket
- Fit the Inner Lid Gasket securely to the outer circumference as shown in the figure.
- Line up the pin on the Upper Lid with the hole on the Inner Lid correctly with the Upper Lid, and tighten the three screws securely.
If the Inner Lid Gasket hardens, changes shape, turns white, or otherwise becomes worn out, hot water may leak from the gap between the Upper Lid and Body when tilted. Steam may also leak from the gap, causing burns and product failures, which may result in scalds. If hot water spews from the gap or there is steam even after replacing the Inner Lid Gasket, other parts may be in need of repair. Please contact Zojirushi Customer Service.
Perform every 1-3 month(s) of usage
Do not drink the water used for citric acid cleaning.
NOTE
In order to prevent gas bubbles and bubbllng-over, the Citric Acid Cleaner for Electric Water Boilers (CD-K03E-JU) is recommended for cleaning. To purchase this cleaner, please visit an authorized Zojirushi dealer or www.zojirushi.com.
Preparation:
Check that the Filter is attached to the Inner Container.
![]()
NOTE
If the Filter is dirty, remove it from the Inner Container, wash with a soft brush and reinstall.
- Put 1 package of the Citric Acid Cleaner CD-K03E-JU in a cup and add warm water to dissolve. Pour it into the Inner Container and fill with water to the Maximum Water Level Line.
NOTE
Do not fill over the Maximum Water Level Line. (Hot water may spill out, resulting in scalds.) - Close the Upper Lid, insert the Power Plug and press the
reboiln button for more than 3 seconds.
![Zojirushi - Micom CD-WHC40 - HOW TO PERFORM CITRIC ACID CLEANING HOW TO PERFORM CITRIC ACID CLEANING]()
- Unplug the Power Plug, detach the Upper Lid and dispose water where indicated "EMPTY FROM HERE." (Please take precautions not to splash water on the Hinge.)
NOTE
Repeated citric acid cleaning may be necessary for hard-to-remove residues or if water does not dispense smoothly. - To rinse, fill the Inner Container with water. Boil and dispense about a cup of hot water to rinse out the Spout, allow to cool, then dispose the remaining water.
When disposing hot water: - Take precaution with the hot water and steam. You may scald yourself.
- Take precaution as hot water may drip from the Spout, causing scalds.
- lf mineral or Alkalized Ionic water is used, calcium tends to build up on the surface of the Inner Container. If scale accumulates on the Inner Container or the Filter, boiling may become louder than usual and water may not dispense smoothly. Frequent cleaning is recommended when using mineral or Alkalized Ionic water.
To cancel the Citric Acid Cleaning at any time, unplug the Power Plug for more than 5 seconds.
