Water Type Recommendations

Kiinde strongly recommends using only distilled water in the Kozii warmer. This is the most crucial step in maintaining optimal performance and extending the life of your device. Distilled water lacks the minerals found in tap or even filtered water, which are the primary cause of scale buildup within the reservoir and heating components.

Using tap water, even if filtered, will inevitably lead to mineral deposits that can reduce warming efficiency and potentially damage the warmer over time. These deposits can interfere with the heating process, resulting in inconsistent temperatures and potentially shortening the lifespan of the unit.

Regular use of distilled water minimizes the need for frequent descaling. While descaling is a necessary maintenance task, consistent use of distilled water significantly reduces its frequency. Adding more water is perfectly safe!

Just be sure to fill it with distilled water and you wont have a problem.

Always prioritize distilled water for the best and safest warming experience for your baby.

Soaking Period: After the warming cycle, unplug the unit and let the vinegar solution sit in the reservoir for several hours, or even overnight, for stubborn buildup.

Rinsing Thoroughly: After soaking, empty the reservoir and rinse it thoroughly with distilled water multiple times to remove any residual vinegar taste or odor.

Repeat if Necessary: If mineral buildup persists, repeat the descaling process. Just be sure to fill it with distilled water and you wont have a problem.

Addressing Mineral Buildup

Identifying Mineral Buildup: Visible white or chalky deposits inside the water reservoir indicate mineral buildup. This is common, especially with hard water, and doesn’t necessarily mean the warmer is malfunctioning, but requires attention.

Preventative Measures: Using distilled water consistently is the best way to prevent mineral buildup. Distilled water lacks the minerals found in tap water, minimizing deposits within the warmer.

Regular Cleaning: Frequent cleaning, even without visible buildup, helps maintain optimal performance. Wipe down the reservoir with a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly after each use.

Vinegar Solution: For existing buildup, a solution of white vinegar and water is effective. Unplug your unit from the wall, empty the water, and flip the unit over.

Soaking and Flushing: Fill the reservoir with the vinegar solution and let it sit for a couple of hours. Afterwards, flush the reservoir with fresh distilled water several times to remove any lingering vinegar.

Consistent Maintenance: Regular descaling, as outlined in the dedicated section, is crucial for long-term performance and preventing significant mineral accumulation.
