23. Do I cut my vegetables before processing?
    The fruits and vegetables should be placed in the lotus® Home Cleaning System whole. The purpose of the lotus® Home Cleaning System is to remove the harmful bacteria and pesticides from the skin of your fruits and vegetables. Many fruits and vegetables are grown at ground level and the outer skin may be contaminated. The contamination is automatically transferred to the edible portion of your fruits and vegetables by the knife when you cut them. Therefore always process your fruits and vegetables whole for the most effective sanitizing.
24. What types of fruits and vegetables should I use the lotus® Home Cleaning System on?
    The lotus® Home Cleaning System can be used with all types of fruits and vegetables by either using the Multi-purpose Bowl attachment or the Spray bottle Attachment. It would be impossible for you to place a melon in the bowl whole, but to remove contaminants from the outer skin, process a Spray Bottle of water. Using the spray bottle, saturate the outer skin and wipe clean with a clean cloth.
25. I want to process my meat, fish or poultry, how do I do this?
    Use the Multi-purpose bowl attachment and lid and fill to the max fill line with plain cold water. Place the Bowl Attachment on the lotus® Home Cleaning System, select the proper mode and process the plain water. Once the system has reach "100%", remove the attachment, place on the countertop or sink and drop your meat, fish or poultry into the water. The meat, poultry and fish should remain in the water for the "2 minute" period displayed on the display. Once the display reads "end", drain the water from the meat and begin preparation. Note: It is very important to thoroughly wash and rinse your soak bowl and lid to avoid cross contamination. The lotus® Home Cleaning System is self-cleaning, but you should wash the bowl and lid thoroughly, then fill with cold clean water and run a second cycle of plain water. The second cycle cleans, sanitizes and disinfects your bowl for future use. Tip: You can use the water from the second cycle to water your plants or disinfect your sink. The other alternative is to process a spray bottle of cold tap water. Once the cycle has reached the end, remove the spray bottle and thoroughly spray the meats. The liquefied ozone from the spray bottle will kill pathogens effectively.

F1 Function Code
The F1 Function Code is a perfectly normal code. It is designed to let you the consumer know whatever you are processing in the bowl, such as fruits or vegetables, possess high levels of contaminants. In which case the items you are processing require more contact time with the liquefied ozone in order to kill germs to the 99.9% level. During processing you may notice that the percentage slows down during processing, in order to increase the contact time with the liquefied ozone and enable the system to help remove the contaminants from what you are processing. We recommend draining the water out of the bowl, after each F1 code, refilling with fresh water and re-processing the items/produce, thus giving more contact time for the liquefied ozone to counteract stubborn contaminants and ensure maximum sanitization.

In some cases the cause of the F1 code could be tap water if it contains high levels of contaminants. It may be necessary to use the water purified by the lotus Home water treatment system. Signs that you tap water may be contaminated are that the lotus Home cleaner does not reach 100% using the sprat bottle attachment.

To be absolutely sure:

1. Try processing a Spray bottle of lotus Home treated or bottled water.
2. If it reaches 100% it means that the previous water you have been using is contaminated.
3. If the system gives a second F1 code, your system may be malfunctioning. Please contact Tersano customer care.

If you have not been able to reach 100% with the bowl attachment when processing items in the bowl, such as fruits or vegetables, then the items may have high levels of contaminants, such as pesticides. In this case, follow these instructions:

1. Drain the water out of the attachment, rinse the item (lightly hand scrubbing them) and refill with fresh cold water. Place on the base and begin the cycle again.
2. Remember to rinse your fruits and vegetables before processing them. This removes loose contaminants such as dirt.
3. Try and keep your produce whole, as the unit reacts to juices from fruits or vegetables as contaminants.
4. Do not overfill bowl with water (fill enough to cover vegetables and fruits and ensure there is good circulation around them).
5. Ensure the attachment is firmly on the unit, by pressing down on the attachment once it is on the unit.
6. Fill the Bowl 1/2 full with produce first and fill to the max fill line with water, to ensure good circulation around the items you are cleaning.
7. If you have to process something that doesn't fit, such as a head of lettuce, then we recommend cutting it in half. Otherwise use the spray bottle attachment to apply liquefied ozone, or put items in a separate bowl and pour the processed water over them and let it sit for 2 minutes (which is what we recommend to do with meats and seafood).
8. There are some fruits and vegetables, which are highly contaminated and may require multiple cycles. Our experience has show that strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and grapes are the most common fruits, which cause multiple F1 codes. If by the third cycle you are still experiencing an F1, we recommend leaving the fruits or vegetables in the water for 2 to 5 minutes and then thoroughly draining them. The system will remove between 90 to 99% of the contaminants after the third cycle.
9. In certain situations, we recommend to run a spray bottle with purified, filtered or bottled water to clean the sensors and the unit and then proceed to run the items in your bowl. Sometimes the sensor can get congested and the plain water in a cycle will clean it up.

If you follow these tips and you continue to experience the F1 code, or if you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us at 1-800-808-1724 and we will be glad to assist you.
