guide and FAQ.
Before performing any maintenance on the CuisineClean, turn the power off and unplug the power

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 O
2
in the air to O
3
(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?
