FUNCTIONS
1. Washing
Water churning in the unit combined with the rotational movement of the unit washes physical dirt
and debris off of the vegetables.
2. Ozone disinfection and pesticide degradation
The CuisineClean has ozone disinfection and pesticide degradation functions. While disinfecting,
it can also detoxify pesticides residue left on fruits and vegetables. The CuisineClean is both
efficient and non-polluting.
3. Timer control
Operating time can be freely selected using the turn knob timer.
4. Removable Wash Basket
The unit uses a uniquely patented basket design that can be easily removed. This allows easy
handling of your fruits and vegetables and helps prevent them from coming into contact with
germs and bacteria after washing and disinfecting.
5. Easy to Maintain
While they can be used if desired, detergents do not need to be added while operating the
CuisineClean. This reduces the introduction of pollutants into the environment and helps lower
the operating and maintenance costs of the unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preparation
a. Hang the drainpipe on the back of the unit via the clip.
b. Make sure that the electrical outlet you are using is properly grounded.
c. Make sure that the timer is set to 0 minutes before plugging the unit in.
2. Place Produce in Unit
Open the lid and place the vegetables, fruit, or other utensils into the washing basket; then close
the lid (make sure that the lid is closed before turning on the power). Some larger vegetables
may need to be cut into more manageable pieces before they are placed in the unit.
Reference weight about washing
When using the CuisineClean do not let the weight exceed 1 lb for leafy green vegetables (i.e.
spinach, lettuce) or 3 lbs for roots and tubers (such as potatoes and carrots).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
If the CuisineClean is not functioning properly please refer to the following troubleshooting
guide and FAQ.
Before performing any maintenance on the CuisineClean, turn the power off and unplug the power
cord. Review the FAQ before contacting the after-sales representative to ensure that the
problems cannot be solved without sending in the unit. If the reason for failure cannot be found
below then contact the authorized repair center or the after-sales service representative.
FAQ
1. Does it work?
Experiments have shown that using the CuisineClean Fruit Vegetable Washer is much more
effective than hand washing to kill bacteria and destroy residual pesticides and fertilizers. The
CuisineClean applies churning current to physically wash the dirt off of the vegetable’s surface
while simultaneously employing an electronic Ozone generator to produce Ozone. Activated
oxygen, or ozone, is then used to oxidize the vegetable and fruits, which causes pesticide
degradation, toxin oxidization, sterilization and disinfection. Much more than could be achieved
by common hand washing. Ozone degrades to common oxygen and water after approximately
15 minutes leaving no pollutants to harm the environment.
2. How does it work?
The washer makes use of the electronic generator to ionize the O2 in the air to O3 (ozone), which
is then released into the machine through the pump. The powerful oxidation effects of ozone have
cause pesticide degradation, toxin oxidization, sterilization and disinfection. After that, the ozone
reverts to oxygen and water.
3. How much can be washed at once?
For leafy green vegetables (such as spinach, lettuce, etc.) no more than 1 lb should be washed at a
time.
For roots and tubers (such as potatoes, carrots, etc.) no more than 3 lbs should be washed at a
time.
This should fully satisfy the common family.
4. How much electricity is used during each use?
The power requirement is 100W, or 0.1 degree per hour. Running time on the normal cycle is 8
minutes which translates to 0.013 degree for each washing cycle.
5. How much water is used during each use?
The CuisineClean uses approximately 1 gallon for each washing period. On the normal cycle
one washing cycle will wash the vegetables twice for a total of 2 gallons.
6. Do extra detergents or disinfectants need to be added to the machine during operation?
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
There is no need to add other disinfectants; just turning the knob on will work.
7. What kind of certifications does the CuisineClean have?
The CuisineClean is ETL certified in the USA.
8. Why does the unit have an ozone destruct filter?
The ozone destruct filter is meant to remove ozone that outgases during the washing process and
passes through the ventilation holes in the lid. This is done by using activated carbon.
