Hi I am officially rent LG PuriCare WD516AN for 7 years

I have questions to ask

1. When I want to drink air suam, the installer said choose hot with 40 celcius, my question is what is the different between this hot 40 celcius and ambient drink?
At first I thought ambient drink was air suam,

2. My second question is LG ThinQ apps which show High temp sterilization and got Last internal pipe sterilization, Last water outlet sterilization & schedule internal pipe sterilization. My question is that same with the second photo on physical WD516AN which show Internal Sterilize = schedule internal pipe sterilization?

3. My third question is when I ask installer regarding schedule high-temp sterilization, he said the process took only 15 minutes to do this process? is it true?

4. What is the function outlet sterilize? Is is neccessary or must to do outlet sterilize because as I know is it not automatic like the internal sterilize and must do manual and when I ask the installer, he said is my decision to do or not

1. Ur air suam is room temp or luke warm?  biggrin.gif  Ambient = Room temp (usually 26°C), 40°C = luke warm

2. Ya same, the button is there in case u want to do it manually (i.e. outside the scheduled timing)

3. Roughly 15~20 min, but usually our technician set it at midnight 3am when no one is using and it just run auto so u probably wont notice

4. Outlet sterilisation = Flushing the outlet with hot water (in addition to the hourly UV sterilisation), since hot water will flow out, need to put a container before starting the process, that's why can only do it manually. Suggest do it once a month  thumbup.gif

1. Understood haha smile.gif

2. Thank you

3. Thank for the advise, just now set to the midnight 3am

4. Maybe I am asking stupid question still I want to know the reason to do internal pipe sterilization (weekly) and water outlet sterilization(monthly), hope can explain easy way that can I understand because I am noob about this

Point 1: Ambient water is same temp as your ambient. Air suam is usually warm water, hence LG Technician recommend this temp to you. Usually baby milk is mixed at this temperature.

Point 2: Internal pipe sterilisation in the app is the same as the physical button on the water purifier. Outlet sterilisation button will dispense hot water to sterilise the outlet spout, this will take 15 minutes to complete.

Point 3: High Temp internal sterilisation takes 15 mins to complete, and purifier is down during this period. It will take estimated about 2hours for cold water to resume (at max temp after sterilising). Usually my personal recommendation is to set this at mid morning or whenever the use of the purifier is not required.

Point 4: Internally there is UV light which sterilises the internal of the outlet spout every hour. This outlet sterilise flushes hot water to the water outlet, sterilising with hot water. If you frequently use hot water, this may not be necessary to be performed, again my personal recommendation is to run it once a month.

For point 1 also I want to ask regarding baby milk so can be mixed with ambient water?

No worry, not stupid question  thumbsup.gif

Only 1 type of sterilisation is manual, the other 2 types are auto, so u dun have to worry bout them:

1. Internal pipe sterilisation auto weekly, to flush with hot water the machine's internal pipings

2. Water outlet UV sterilisation is auto hourly, to kill bacteria growing on its surface

3. Water outlet sterilisation (hot water flushing) is manual, cuz it uses hot water to flush the outlet, so must put a container

1. Internal pipe sterilisation auto weekly, to flush with hot water the machine's internal pipings - this is what purpose?

2. Water outlet UV sterilisation is auto hourly, to kill bacteria growing on its surface - this one understand purpose to kill bacteria

3. Water outlet sterilisation (hot water flushing) is manual, cuz it uses hot water to flush the outlet,(this is what purpose?) so must put a container

1 and 3 are both flushing with hot water, mainly to clean up any residue in the pipes or any dust on the faucet (since the faucet is exposed, flying dust may attach on it, even though UV alrd kill any bacteria, still need to clear the dust)  biggrin.gif

ok understand like maintenance aircond clean dust when they did the chemical wash

why u did not choose WD518AN also? just curious.  tongue.gif

To ensure hygiene, it's highly recommended to do it once every 3 mths

Put a bowl there, press a button and takes bout 10mins to complete only, very easy  biggrin.gif

Nope, but just:
1) Press and hold "Outlet Sterilisation" button for 3 sec, then
2) Press "Dispense" button

This one is better do when all people sleep right? or midnight? Usually you will do at what time?
