KSD Cleaner User Guide: Unboxing, First Charge and Usage Tips

You just received your KSD Cleaner — congratulations on this step toward your family's health! Before you start using it, here is a complete guide to unboxing, setting up, and using your device correctly from the very first time.

What's in the Box

When you open your KSD Cleaner package, you should find:

• ✅ The KSD Cleaner device (electrolysis food purifier)
• ✅ A USB-C charging cable
• ✅ The user guide in French and English
• ✅ The warranty card

If any item is missing or damaged, contact our customer service at support@ksdmarket.ca within 7 days of receipt.

Step 1: First Charge

Before first use, we recommend fully charging the device:

1. Connect the USB-C cable to the device.
2. Plug the other end into a standard USB charger (minimum 5V/1A) or a computer USB port.
3. The indicator light turns red during charging.
4. When the light turns green (or goes off depending on the model), charging is complete.
5. Charging time: approximately 2 to 3 hours for a full charge.

A full charge typically allows 15 to 20 cycles of 10-minute use.

Step 2: Initial Device Rinse

Before the very first food use, run an empty cleaning cycle:

1. Fill a clean bowl with 500 ml of tap water.
2. Fully submerge the device head in the water.
3. Activate the device and let it run for 5 minutes.
4. Discard the water and rinse the device under clean water.

This step removes any manufacturing residues and conditions the electrodes for optimal performance.

Step 3: Your First Use

Your KSD Cleaner is ready. Here is how to proceed for your first food cleaning:

Choosing the Right Container

• Use a glass or food-grade plastic bowl (HDPE or PP). Avoid metal or stainless steel containers — they can interfere with the electrolysis process.
• The bowl size should match the quantity of food to be treated — food must be completely submerged.

Water Quantity

• Add enough water to completely cover the food.
• The device must also be fully submerged to work correctly.
• Ordinary tap water works perfectly for a standard cycle — no need for filtered water. To boost effectiveness, you can add salt or baking soda (see the FAQ below).

Recommended Treatment Time by Food Type

• Delicate fruits (strawberries, blueberries, grapes, raspberries): 5 minutes
• Smooth-skinned fruits (apples, pears, peaches, plums): 8 minutes
• Leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, lettuce): 5 minutes
• Firm vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers): 10 minutes
• Raw poultry (chicken, turkey): 10 minutes
• Red meats (beef, pork, lamb): 8 to 10 minutes
• Fish: 5 to 8 minutes
• Shrimp and seafood: 5 minutes (fresh), 10 minutes (imported/thawed)

Activating the Device

1. Place the food in the bowl of water.
2. Submerge the KSD Cleaner head in the water.
3. Press the activation button. The light turns on and you will see fine bubbles forming — this is the sign that electrolysis is underway.
4. The device stops automatically at the end of the cycle.

What You Will Observe

During your first use, you will probably notice several things:

• Fine bubbles: a normal sign of electrolysis in action.
• Slight water discolouration: yellow, orange, or brownish depending on the food treated. These are the impurities, pesticide residues, and waxes extracted from the food. The more coloured the water, the more contaminated the food was.
• A faint odour: similar to ozone or pool water. A normal sign of ozone generation by electrolysis. It disappears after rinsing.

After Treatment: Rinse and Eat

1. Remove the device from the water.
2. Discard the treatment water (it contains the extracted impurities).
3. Rinse the food under clean water to remove suspended residues.
4. Your food is ready to eat or store normally.

Device Care and Cleaning

After Each Use

• Rinse the device head under clean water.
• Dry with a clean cloth or air dry.
• Never submerge the device body (the part with the button and electronics) in water — only the head is waterproof.

Weekly Electrode Cleaning

Over time, a limescale deposit may form on the electrodes, reducing their effectiveness. To clean it:

1. Prepare a diluted white vinegar solution (1:1 with water).
2. Submerge the device head in this solution for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Rinse thoroughly under clean water before reuse.

Tips for Maximum Effectiveness

• Do not overcrowd the bowl: food must be submerged and ions must be able to circulate freely around each item.
• Room temperature water: water at room temperature (20-25°C) gives the best results. Very cold water slightly slows the electrolysis process.
• For grape clusters: separate the grapes from the stems for optimal purification of each grape.
• For large quantities: run several cycles in small batches rather than one cycle with a large packed quantity.
• For strawberries: only remove the stem after purification to prevent water from penetrating the fruit.
• “Anti-Bacteria” tip: for meats, fish, and salads, add a pinch of table salt (about 5 g) to the water and run a 10-minute cycle — our lab tests show a 99.99% elimination rate for dangerous bacteria (salmonella, E. coli).
• “Anti-Pesticide” tip: for supermarket fruits and vegetables, add a small spoonful of baking soda (about 3 g) to the water and run a 15-minute cycle to break down the vast majority of stubborn pesticide residues.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

Is tap water sufficient or do I need filtered water?
Ordinary tap water works perfectly. The chlorine in tap water does not negatively interfere with the electrolysis process.

Can I add salt or baking soda to the water?
Yes. For the “Anti-Bacteria” cycle, add a pinch of table salt (about 5 g) before submerging your food: our lab tests show this helps eliminate 99.99% of dangerous bacteria (such as salmonella or E. coli) in just 10 minutes — ideal for meats, fish, and salads. For the “Anti-Pesticide” cycle, add a small spoonful of baking soda (about 3 g): in 15 minutes, the device breaks down the vast majority of stubborn pesticide residues from the skin of your fruits and vegetables. Outside of these two uses, ordinary tap water is enough — avoid vinegar or other substances not tested with the device.

Can the device be used multiple times in a row without recharging?
Yes, until the battery runs out. The indicator light will flash to signal a low battery.

How long does the battery last?
A full charge allows approximately 15 to 20 cycles of 10 minutes — several days of normal daily use.

Can the treatment water be reused to water plants?
Yes, the treatment water can be used to water plants. The generated ions are naturally unstable and dissipate quickly.

What to do if the device does not activate?
Check that the battery is not empty. Make sure the device head is completely submerged in water. If the problem persists, contact our support at support@ksdmarket.ca.
