1. Place the water dispenser on a stable surface

9. Once the water has boiled it will be dispensed into the cup

10. You can press the Stop Button at any time to stop the boiling or dispensing process

11. Discard the water and repeat the process until the tank is empty. This will clean out any residue in the Water Dispenser left over from factory production or testing processes.

You can refill the tank by lifting the water dispenser from its base and fill from the tap. Or you can fill with a jug. Refer to the Water Level Indicator at the back and take care not to overfill past the MAX level.

• When you press the stop button during the dispensing process, the water will continue to run for a few more seconds. Keep this in mind so your cup doesn't overflow!

LIME SCALE

When you heat tap water, calcium and other mineral deposits attach themselves to the inside of your kettle, iron, washing machine etc.

Excessive lime scale build up will damage your Water Dispenser.

We recommend using pre-filtered or bottled water. If you cannot do this and use water straight from the tap then it will be necessary to descale the product regularly. There are plenty of good, inexpensive lime scale remedies available - including from Swan website. Just follow the instructions on the packet or call our help line for assistance.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Always switch off and unplug the appliance and allow it to completely cool before cleaning. The outside can be wiped down with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent solution, then dried with kitchen towel.

The inside of the tank just needs to be rinsed out with clean water - especially if the Water Dispenser hasn't been used for a few days. Don't use chemical or abrasive cleaners.
