9.2. Cleaning and Maintenance

EASY VALVE Balloon with Mouth-
piece
The EASY VALVE Balloon and its
Mouthpiece require no maintenance.
For hygienic reasons, they should be
replaced with a new Valve Balloon and
Mouthpiece every two weeks. To pre-
vent any transfer of infectious germs,
the Valve Balloon and Mouthpiece
should be used only by one person,
and never shared by multiple individu-
als.
Filling Chamber with Filling Chamber
Cap
Please allow the Filling Chamber and
the Cap to cool down before disassem-
bling them. The component parts of
the Filling Chamber must be thorough-
ly cleaned on a regular basis to guar-
antee proper operation and pure flavor.
For hygienic reasons, it is also neces-
sary to clean the Filling Chamber with
Cap for hygienic reasons when the de-
vice is to be used by a different person.
If a new Valve Balloon and Mouthpiece
are used, the Filling Chamber should
also be cleaned beforehand. For man-
ual cleaning, use rubbing alcohol and
paper or cotton towels or warm water
with wash-up liquid. Filling Chamber
and Cap may be easily disassembled
and reassembled for cleaning in a few
seconds. Filling Chamber and Cap
Components may also be cleaned in
a dishwasher. However, the Screens,
Cap Ring and Filling Chamber Clips are
very small, and may be lost if placed in
a dishwasher. Before assembling allow
all component parts to dry properly.
