Clogs in the filter may result in an acidic aftertaste and slower drip speed.
Clean your filter thoroughly if you notice any of these problems.
Maintenance when drip speed slows down Maintenance by boiling Fully submerge the filter in water and boil for approx. 10 minutes.
Be sure to keep the filter upright when sterilizing.

*Failure to do so may cause bubbles to form at the bottom of the pot, preventing complete sterilization.
Maintenance by microwave oven Fully submerge the filter in water and microwave for approx. 5 minutes on 500W / 2.5 minutes on 1000W.
Sodium bicarbonate can be added to the water for more effective cleaning. (2 tablespoons of powder to 1 liter of water.)
After cleaning, be sure to thoroughly rinse the filter and leave out to air dry.

*The product may break if rapidly cooled under running water.
*Cannot be cared for over an open flame.
