How do I wash, charge, and store my kegg?Updated 2 months ago
Cleaning kegg
Maintaining a clean kegg is essential for optimal performance and longevity. Let's get to it!
After you take your reading and the kegg app has updated with your daily reading, kegg should be washed. Using warm water (not hot!), your hands, and a mild soap (optional), gently clean kegg, ensuring to be careful to not scratch the metal band and metal tip. Note: If you wish to use soap, please use neutral soap (i.e. something that you’d use on your face or sensitive skin). Before inserting kegg for your next reading, rinse in warm water. This can also help with insertion!
Allow kegg to air dry in a safe space (away from animals- they tend to love kegg as much as we do!) such as on a towel. You can also optionally gently dry kegg using a soft towel, again taking care to not scratch the metal electrode portions. kegg is water-resistant, but avoid submerging your kegg in water. Be sure to not place kegg in the charging cradle until it is fully dry, as any moisture can cause corrosion. Only charge kegg when instructed to do so for optimal battery life.
Charging kegg
The kegg appl will let you know when the kegg needs to be charged. If the kegg battery is too low to use kegg, it will flash yellow when you try to turn it on. To charge, simply plug the USB cord into the charging cradle, and plug a suitable charger block into the wall. Gently push your kegg down into the charging cradle until you see a slow yellow flashing light. kegg will glow green when fully charged. Be sure kegg is fully dry and no moisture remains before inserting into the charging cradle as moisture may cause corrosion. To ensure optimal battery life of your kegg, only charge kegg as needed.
Storing kegg
During everyday use of kegg, be sure to store kegg out of reach of animals. Many women to prefer to allow their kegg to air dry after cleaning on a soft towel. Do not store your kegg in the cradle after washing, as any moisture can cause corrosion.
For long periods of disuse, charge your kegg to about 70% complete and then be sure to power on your kegg at least once every 6 months. This helps preserve the battery life of your kegg. Store kegg in an area where air can access it (not in a ziplock bag).
