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. Main unit and lid 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. Mesh filter Clean with a wet soft sponge.

Do not use polishing powder, a scrub brush or a nylon brush. 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) Inner container When storing the unit

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

Do not use detergents. (They may leave an odor.)

Do not use benzine or thinner. (They may damage the surface.) Before cleaning, be sure to disconnect the power plug from outlet, dispense water and cool down the unit. They may damage the fluororesin finish of the inner container.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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. How to clean the inner container using citric acid. ● 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. citric acid Daily Maintenance 06_USA_OM_NC-EG2200_3000_4000_EN.indd 2106_USA_OM_NC-EG2200_3000_4000_EN.indd 21 12/14/2558 BE 15:5012/14/2558 BE 15:5022 Troubleshooting Before calling a service supplier, please check the following possible causes. If... Possible cause How to fix White or glittering flakes floating in the hot water. Rough milky white substancess are adhered to inner container. 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 ionized water, is more likely to cause a scale or white layer in the hot water. Clean the inner container with a wet soft sponge. (See P.20) If the “scale” still remains, clean with citric acid. (See P.21) Boiling sounds become louder. When “scale” adheres, boiling sounds become louder. Hot water has odors of chlorine. Odors of chlorine remain depending on the amount of chlorine in tap water. Press key to reduce the chlorine. (See P.16) Hot water has an unpleasant odor. When the unit is new, resin used in the manufacturing process may give off a mild odor. This will disappear with use. If the unit is placed on surfaces such as a vinyl sheet, the odor may be carried over into the water. Hot water comes out by itself. Water has been added above maximum water level. Lower the water level. Hot water does not flow out smoothly. The mesh filter may be clogged with “scale”. (See P.20) When scale accumulates in the inner container and remaining hot water is low, hot water does hot flow out smoothly. Immediately after boiling, hot water may not flow out smoothly. Clean the filter with a brush. If the “scale” cannot be removed, replace the filter (See P.23) The indicator lights flash alternately. Overheating protection has been activated (See P.15) Add water and press key. The indicator lights may flash alternately by adding boiling water or the way the water is supplied. Press key. When the inner container is cleaned with citric acid, citric acid has built up on the bottom. Disconnect the plug, and stir the citric well to dispose. Hot water does not dispense. The automatic lock has been engaged. Press key. 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°F (55°C). The unit does not turn on. You poured in water directly from a tap. It is broken if the electric components are immersed in water. Contact the store where you purchased the unit for repair. You put the unit on the sink. You turn the unit upside down with its bottom wet. You washed the unit in water. “Reboil” and “180” indicator lights flash alternately. This is malfunction of the sensor. Contact the stores where you purchased.
