How to care for your
Cleaning your Lomi
Knowing how to keep Lomi clean is important so that it stays looking great and also
continues to function at its best. We recommend cleaning the Lomi exterior once a
month or as frequently as you would clean any other kitchen appliance. To keep
your Lomi at optimal performance, clean the interior of the bucket routinely.
Ensure your Lomi is unplugged before cleaning. To wash the exterior of Lomi,
simply wipe with a damp dish cloth. If your Lomi is particularly dirty, add a small
amount of dish soap to your cleaning process.
Finally use a dry cloth to remove excess moisture.
Never submerge your Lomi under water. There are electrical components and any
excess water would cause significant damage and could cause electric shock.
Cleaning the Bucket
The bucket can be easily removed and washed by hand or placed in the
dishwasher, for a more thorough cleaning.
Ensure the bucket is free from any excess dirt/particles before placing it in the
dishwasher.
This should be run on a hot cycle.
As the bucket is made from metal be sure to let it cool down before handling and
placing it back inside the Lomi unit.
