Illustration of a hand using a showerhead to clean water, with a cross symbol indicating no text or symbols.

Inner container

Clean with a wet sponge.

- Do not use polishing powder, a scrub brush or a nylon brush.

They may damage the fluororesin finish of the inner container.

About "Scale"

While you are using this unit, minerals contained in the water (like calcium) can get stuck on the inner container or on the mesh filter. This is called "scale", and it is harmless.

• Milky-white gritty surface (caused by calcium)
• White or glittering floating material (crystals of minerals)
• Discoloration in the finish like dark brown, gray, or green areas (metallic ion made on the fluororesin cover

These are not discoloration or corrosion of the inner container itself, nor are they flakes from the fluororesin covering.

Clean the inner container using citric acid. (See P.21)

Mesh filter

Clean the filter with a brush.

When filter is clogged, water does not flow smoothly.

* After cleaning the filter, be sure to reattach it to the inner container.

• To remove any discoloration from the area above the maximum water level, rub the inside lightly with a wet sponge.
• If the discoloration cannot be removed by rubbing, clean the inner container several times using citric acid or lemons.

Cautions

• Use only our citric acid to clean this thermo pot.
- Do not fill with water above maximum water level.
- Fill the container only with tap water (do not fill with hot water). Hot water may spout out causing burns.

Troubleshooting

Before calling a service supplier, please check the following possible causes/soluting.

If... Causes

White or glittering flakes floating in the hot water.

Boiling sounds become louder.

Hot water has odors of chlorine.

Hot water has an unpleasant odor.

Hot water comes out by itself.

Hot water does not flow out smoothly.

The indicator lights flash alternaterly.

Hot water does not dispense.

Possible cause

- The cause of this is "scale". (See P.20) It is not flakes of fluororesin.

* Water with a large content of minerals in it such as mineral water or ionised water, is more likely to cause a scale or white layer in the hot water.

- When "scale" adhered, boiling sounds become louder.

- Odors of chlorine remain depending on the amount of chlorine in tap water.

- When the unit is new, resin used in the manufacturing process may give off a mild odor.

- If the unit is placed on surfaces such as a vinyl sheet, the odor may be carried over into the water.

- Water has been added above maximum water level.

- The mesh filter may be clogged with "scale". (See P.20)

● Overheating protection has been activated (See P.15)

- The indicator lights may flash alternately by adding boiling water or due to the way the water is supplied.

- When the inner container is cleaned with citric acid, citric acid may have built up on the bottom.

- The automatic lock has been engaged.

- Clean the inner container with a wet sponge. (See P.20)

- If the “scale” still remains, clean with citric acid. (See P.21)

- Press the “Reboil” key to reduce the chiorine. (See P.16)

- Lower the water level.

- Clean the filter with a brush.

- If the "scale" cannot be removed, replace the filter. (See P.23)

- Add water and press the "Reboil" key.

- Press the "Reboil" key.

- Disconnect the plug, and stir the citric acid well to disperse.

- Press the "Lock/Unlock" key.

• If the problem is not fixed after checking the above possible causes, or if you still think something is wrong, disconnect the body plug from the unit. Wait at least 10 seconds and then re-connect the plug.
• The semi-transparent inner part inside the lid may become yellowish. This does not affect operation of the unit.
• The ratting noise in the lid is made by small ball-shaped components which prevent water from flooding out if the unit topples over.
• If the room temperature is very high, the outside of the main unit may reach about 131^ (55°C).

The unit does not turn on.

• You poured in water directly from a tap.
• You put the unit on the sink.
• You turned the unit upside down with its bottom wet.
• You washed the unit water.
