The Aqua Optima Aurora excels in delivering precise water temperatures and volumes for a variety of daily needs. For example:
Morning Rush: Select 100°C and 200ml for an instant, perfectly hot cup of tea or coffee in under 30 seconds, eliminating the need to wait for a kettle to boil.
Refreshing Hydration: Choose the chilled setting and a larger volume (e.g., 500ml) for an immediate glass of cool, filtered water on a hot day.
Cooking Efficiency: When preparing meals, select 100°C and 1000ml to quickly fill a small pan with boiling water for pasta or vegetables, saving time and energy compared to stovetop heating.
Baby Formula & Specific Beverages: For delicate preparations like baby formula, select specific temperatures like 40°C or 70°C, ensuring the water is exactly right without guesswork. The 5-stage filtration system ensures that the water used tastes cleaner, enhancing the flavor of your coffee, tea, and other drinks. The energy-saving design means you only boil or chill what you need, making it an eco-conscious choice for your kitchen.
Setting up your Aqua Optima Aurora is straightforward and requires no complex installation.
Unpack: Carefully remove the dispenser from its packaging and place it on a stable, flat surface with adequate clearance.
Power Connection: Plug the dispenser into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the power cord is not pinched or obstructing pathways.
Fill Water Tank: Open the lid of the 3-liter water tank and fill it with cold tap water. Close the lid securely.
Initial Flush: Before first use, dispense a full tank of cold water through the system to rinse out any manufacturing residues. Follow the instructions in the manual for this initial flush.
Insert Filter: Once flushed, ensure the included Evolve+ 5-stage filter is correctly inserted into its housing within the water tank, following the arrows for orientation.
The Aqua Optima Aurora is designed to be compatible exclusively with Aqua Optima Evolve+ 5-stage water filter cartridges. Using other brands or types of filters may damage the unit or compromise water filtration quality.
Regular care ensures optimal performance and longevity for your dispenser.
External Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the dispenser with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Water Tank Cleaning: Periodically remove the water tank and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly before refilling. Info needed: Specific recommendations for descaling or internal cleaning.
Filter Replacement: The dispenser comes with a 1 x 30-day, 100-liter Evolve filter. Replace the filter regularly as indicated by the dispenser's filter change reminder (if applicable) or based on your water usage and hardness, typically every 30 days or 100 liters to maintain optimal filtration and taste.
