Always ensure that the pitcher, funnel and cartridge are set in place.
●
Always ensure that the instructions provided in II. [Preparing the
Cartridge] in section [4. Usage Methods] are observed when a cartridge
is used for the first time.
(Failure to observe this may result in the water filtering function not performing properly.)

3. Precautions During Use
●
Filtering flow and the period for replacing the cartridge will differ in accordance with
the amount of water use, water quality and water temperature, etc.
●
The filter cannot remove salt (seawater) or metallic ions (expect lead) contained in
water. It is also not capable of converting hard water to soft water.
4. Usage Methods
Handle with clean hands.
●
Failure to observe this may result in the spread of bacteria.
There are cases in which powder will adhere to the cartridge and film,
but this is the filter media used to clean the water and is not a defect.
Rinse this powder off with tap water prior to usage.
There are also cases in which small amounts of the filter media will
enter the funnel during usage, but it will not enter the filtered water so
it is safe to use as it is. It will not affect the filtered water in any way.
(1) Using Cleansui for the First Time
Preparing the Pitcher
