- Sanitize Nozzles & Chambers: Remove both nozzles and mixing chambers. Place them in the container with the remaining sanitizer and allow them to soak for 2 minutes.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT soak nozzles and mixing chambers in sanitizer longer than 2 minutes. This will cause damage to the plastic and the O-rings.
