Many Singaporean families who buy Bewinch countertop water dispensers for the first time often ignore details such as new machine flushing, placement specifications and daily maintenance. Improper operation will not only lead to peculiar smell and poor taste of initial effluent, but also accelerate filter loss and shorten the service life of the whole machine. Combined with Singapore's high temperature and high humidity climate characteristics and local home use scenarios, below is a complete set of new machine startup process + daily maintenance + common fault self-check guide, which beginners can easily master, keeping drinking water clean and sweet-tasting for a long time.
1. Complete Steps for First Startup of New Machine (Mandatory)
1. Unpacking Inspection and Placement
After unpacking, check whether the body, water tank, filter element and power cord are intact, without transportation damage or water leakage defects. Place it on a flat countertop, away from direct sunlight, stove heat sources and sink splash areas, and reserve heat dissipation gaps on the back of the body. Singapore is humid and hot, do not place close to walls or enclosed corners to prevent the body from getting damp and algae growing in the water tank.
2. Initial Cleaning of Water Tank
Take out the detachable water tank, wipe the inner and outer walls with room temperature clean water and a soft cloth. Do not use detergent, disinfectant or hard brushes to avoid chemical residue and scratching the food-grade water tank. After cleaning, fill with municipal tap water, and control the water level between the maximum and minimum scale lines.
3. Filter Installation and Power-On Initialization
Open the front filter compartment, put the original RO filter and rear mineralization filter into the card slots, push gently and fasten to ensure no looseness. Plug in and power on, the machine automatically completes system initialization and filter identification, wait for the screen to enter the standby interface. All Bewinch series adopt foolproof interface design, which can be installed with bare hands without tools.
4. Mandatory Flushing for New Machine (Key Step)
The inside of the new machine filter contains factory protective liquid. Do not drink the first 2-3 tanks of water. Continuously drain and flush until the effluent is free of foam, peculiar smell and clear and transparent, completely flushing out the residual protective liquid in the pipeline and stabilizing the effluent taste.
5. Full Function Test
Test the effluent of each gear such as room temperature, 45℃ formula making, 85℃ tea making and boiling water in turn, check the temperature control accuracy, effluent flow rate, whether the machine has abnormal noise, and whether the interface has water seepage. After all are normal, let it stand for 10 minutes, and confirm no water leakage before normal use.
2. Exclusive Daily Maintenance Rules for Singapore's Climate
1. Frequent Water Change and Cleaning of Water Tank
Singapore has high temperature and high humidity, so bacteria and mold reproduce faster. It is recommended to replace fresh tap water every 2-3 days in daily life. If you leave home for a long time, be sure to drain the water tank and dry the inner wall. Wash the water tank once a week to avoid scale, mucus and peculiar smell, ensuring direct drinking hygiene.
2. Body Moisture and Dust Protection Care
Daily wipe the body, touch screen and water outlet with a dry soft cloth to keep dry and clean, avoiding damp water vapor accumulating at the bottom of the body. Machines placed in kitchens and open balconies should be regularly dust-proof and moisture-proof to prevent circuit damp from affecting use.
3. Regular Pipeline Flushing
Start the whole machine self-cleaning flushing mode every 1-2 months to flush impurities and residues in the pipeline, avoiding water quality deterioration caused by long-term standing and keeping the water circuit clean and hygienic.
4. Replace Original Filter Elements on Time
Filter elements are consumables. When expired, the filtration capacity drops significantly, which is easy to cause secondary pollution. Subject to the filter life prompt on the body screen, replace Bewinch original filter elements in time when expired. They are adapted to Singapore's local water quality, with stable filtration, better taste and longer service life. Third-party compatible filter elements are not recommended.
3. Quick Self-Check for Common Minor Problems of Beginners
- Slight foam/faint peculiar smell in effluent of new machine: It is normal residue of factory protective liquid, which will completely disappear after continuous flushing for 1-2 days, not a machine fault.
- Slow effluent flow rate: First check whether the water tank level is sufficient, whether the filter is near the end of its life, and whether the water outlet is slightly blocked.
- Inaccurate water temperature, alternating hot and cold: The pipeline of the new machine is not preheated and stable, and it will recover after draining water several times; if abnormal after long-term use, contact after-sales service to calibrate the temperature control module.
-
Slight noise of the machine: Slight water flow sound and pump sound during water production, pumping and heating are normal working sounds; if there is harsh abnormal noise, vibration or water leakage, stop the machine immediately for inspection.
4. Daily Use Taboos (Key to Extend Service Life)
It is forbidden to pour beverages, tea, soup other than hot water, mineral water and purified water; it is forbidden to dry burn or start up without water; it is forbidden to disassemble and modify the machine by yourself; if not used for a long time, be sure to power off, drain accumulated water and dry before storage. Standard maintenance can greatly extend the service life of the whole machine and filter element, and stabilize the taste and safety of daily drinking water.
