Handling Belu Filter bottles:
- Belu filter bottles are designed to be filled with Belu filtered sparkling, chilled or unchilled still water only.
- Never hot water.
- New bottles should be thoroughly cleaned before use, by hand or in a dishwasher.
- Before filling your clean bottles, ensure your hands, your filter machine and the surrounding area is clean.
- Fill only up to the pre-defined volume, do not overfill.
- Close cap straight after filling.
- Once bottles are freshly filled with filtered water, they should be stored in a clean, cool place, out of sunlight (preferably a refrigerator) and consumed within one day.
- Remember that bottles filled with both sparkling and still water are under pressure and shouldn’t be subjected to high temperatures of more than 35 deg C due to the risk of breakage.
- Use dedicated storage crates and dishwasher racks for both full and empty bottles to reduce the risk of damage.
- Store empty bottles upright and open in a cool, dry, clean space.
Cleaning Belu Filter bottles:
- Clean bottles after each use by hand or in a dishwasher.
- Place bottles open and upside down in the dishwasher rack and do not wash other items (like plates or cutlery) at the same time.
- In a professional dishwasher: 60-65°C for at least 90 seconds.
- In a commercial dishwasher: 60-65°C for at least 30 minutes.
- By hand: 45°C. Use a dedicated cleaning brush and suitable washing up liquid.
- Always use clean water for washing caps and lids as otherwise they may discolour.
- After cleaning, keep bottles in the rack, outside the dishwasher for cooling and drying.
- Do not close the cap on empty bottles (even when cool and dry).
- Always wait until bottles are clean and dry before refilling.
