Notice

• The keep-warm temperature or the timer can be set while the water is being boiled or being kept warm.
  After power is restored in the event of a power failure, the keep-warm temperature will be automatically set to "190", even if the timer or the "208", "180" or "160" keep-warm function was previously selected.

Slow Drip mode for making drip coffee

• Dispense water slowly.
• Right after boiling, it maybe difficultly dispensed or be dispensed unsteady.

Daily Maintenance

Before cleaning, be sure to disconnect the power plug from outlet, dispense water and cool down the unit.

Main unit and lid

Clean with a damp, well-wrung cloth.

• Do not wet or soak the main unit in water.

If water enters the main unit from the bottom or from the dispensing spout, it can also get into the electrical components in the main unit and may cause a malfunction.

• Do not use detergents. - Do not use benzine or thinner.

(They may leave an odor.)

They may damage the surface.)

Inner container

Clean with a wet soft 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 covering)

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.

When storing the unit

• Dry it thoroughly.
• Put it into a plastic bag and seal the bag to keep insects from getting in.

1 Make sure that the mesh filter is attached to the inner container.

2 Put citric acid in the inner container.

• Amount of citric acid to be used at one time: 80 g (two packages) or seven level tablespoons
• In case that our citric acid is not available, place 1-2 sliced lemons wrapped with a thin cloth into the inner container instead. (The detergency of lemon is less effective than using the citric acid.)

The citric acid is available from an authorized dealer (as described in the warranty). (Model No: SAN-80N)

* Follow the directions for cleaning printed on the citric acid package. * Since the citric acid used for cleaning is a food additive, it is harmless to humans.

3 Add water to the maximum water level mark, and mix the citric acid and water well. Close the lid.

4 Connect the plug immediately after stirring and press key for more than 3 seconds.

Indicators light up when cleaning cycle starts.

Indicators flash when cleaning cycle ends.

5 Dispense some water, then unplug, remove the lid and drain away the hot water via the 'DRAIN' mark.

6 Refill with water and boil it to remove the smell of the citric acid or lemons. Then throw the hot water away as same as step 5.

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

Cautions

• Please use our citric acid to clean the inner container of this unit.
• Do not fill with water above maximum water level.
• Fill the inner 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.

• If the problem is not fixed after checking the above possible causes, or if you think something is strange, 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 rattling 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 130^ (55^)

Replacement of Parts
