1. Turn off the vacuum airpot flask. If you do not have an electric Air Pot or an Air Pot with a power button, please continue with the rest of the process.
2. Take the container to the sink and open the lid. Pour out the liquid inside and set the pot aside to cool.
3. Rinse the inner lining with hot water. Wipe the inner lining with a sponge tip bottle cleaner to remove any loose debris or mineral deposits. Rinse again.
4. Fill the dispenser with hot water and two or three drops of mild dishwashing detergent. Wait 10 minutes, and then wipe the inside with a sponge tip cleaner. Rinse the dispenser and sponge tip thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
5. Refill the fuel tank with hot water and 2 tablespoons. Descale with vinegar at least once a month, or if you see any mineral deposits. Soak for 1 hour.
6. Close the lid, remove some solution from the nozzle to remove any buildup, and then reopen the lid. Wipe the inside with sponge head cleaner again. When finished, pour out the water and rinse the inside again.
7. Pour fresh hot water into the container, close the lid, and drain the water from the nozzle to rinse all the vinegar in the nozzle. Pour out the water.
8. Wipe the lid and outside of the dispenser with a slightly damp, lint-free microfiber cloth, and then wipe dry with the cloth. If there are stains on the outside, put a drop or two of mild detergent on the cloth and wipe the outside. Rinse with another cloth and wipe dry.
