Main Features Table of Contents Safety Precautions Part Names and Handling Instructions How to Use

Do not allow children and persons unfamiliar with the equipment to use it. And do not leave the unit within the reach of infants. Not observing these precautions may cause burns, electric shock and other injury. Do not let the unit fall over. Even when the dispense key is locked, hot water may leak through the dispensing spout and the steam vent, causing burns, if the unit falls over. Do not lift, tilt or shake the unit or carry it by the lid. Even when the dispense key is locked, hot water may leak through the dispensing spout and the steam vent, causing burns, if the unit is tilted. Do not close the lid by force. Hot water can spill causing burns. Do not pour in water above maximum water level. Hot water can spill causing burns. Do not boil anything other than water. Do not heat tea bags, tea leaves, miIk, alcohol or anything other than water which may cause it to spurt out hot liquid or steam and cause burns. The water tube may also get clogged, the inner container may burn or corrode, and the fluororesin insulating coating may peel off. Close the lid securely. In case the unit topples overflow, hot water may spill out causing burns. Do not block the steam vent. Hot water can overflow causing burns. Do not throw away the remaining hot water while the lid is attached. If the Iid comes off, hot water may splash causing burns.4 Do not immerse the unit in water or splash water over it. It may cause a short circuit and may result in electric shock. Never disassemble, repair or modify the unit. Any attempt to do so may cause the unit to operate abnormally and may result in fire or injury.

If in need of repair (except for the replacement parts), please contact an authorized Service Center. Do not use to store ice. Condensation will occur, creating a potential source of electric shock and malfunction. During use Power Cord Main unit WARNING Use a single outlet that matches the power rating of the unit. Heat generated when plugging in multiple appliances into one outlet may result in fire. Never do anything that might cause damage to the cord, power plug or body plug, such as damage them, modify them, place hot objects near to them, bend them, twist them, stretch them, place heavy objects on them, or bundle them together. If the unit is used when damaged, electrical short circuit or fire may result.

If in need of repair please contact an authorized Service Center. Make sure the power plug is correctly inserted in to the wall outlet. If the plug is inserted improperly it may cause electric shock or generate heat resulting in fire.

Do not use a damaged plug or a connection in a loose outlet. Clean dust from the power plug or the body plug regularly. A build-up of dust on the plug will attract condensation, which could cause cable damage resulting in fire.

Remove the plugs and clean them with a dry cloth. Do not connect or disconnect the power plug or the body plug with wet hands. This may result in electric shock. Do not allow infants access to the body plug. You must pay special attention to prevent infants from putting the body plug into their mouths. This may result in electric shock or injury. Do not allow small metal parts near the body plug. This may result in electric shock, electrical short circuit or fire. Safety Precautions Please observe these precautions fully. Lid opening lever Dispensing spout Container Lid Full pot mark Power plug Cord Body plug Power cord Steam vent5 Do not place the unit on unstable surfaces or surfaces that can be affected by heat. The appliance may topple over causing burns. When opening the lid, keep hands away from the steam. Steam can cause burns. Do not open the lid or dispense hot water while boiling. Splashing hot water or steam may cause burns. Do not touch the steam vent. This may cause burns. Take special care to prevent infants from touching the steam vent. Do not rotate the unit while dispensing hot water. Splashing hot water may cause burns. Do not touch the hot parts of the unit during use or shortly after use. This may cause burns. When carrying the unit, do not touch the lid opening lever. The lid may open causing burns and other injury. W ait for the unit to cool before maintenance. A hot appliance may cause burns.

When disposing hot water, be careful not to get burned. When the unit is not in use, unplug the power plug from the wall outlet . Deteriorating insulation may result in electric shock and/or fire . When unplugging the unit, pull by the power plug - not the cord . Electric shock and short circuit may result in fire. Only use the power cord designed specifically for the unit. Do not use a different cord and do not use this cord with any other device. It may cause a malfunction or it may start a fire. Do not place near walls or furniture. Steam and heat could damage walls and furniture, causing a change in color and shape.

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. For instructions on how to clean the inner container with citric acid please see page 28.

SelectTroubleshooting Before calling a service supplier, please check the followning possible causes.

If... Possible cause How to fix Hot water won't dispense.

The automatic lock has been engaged.

Press the 'Lock/Unlock' key. White or glittering flakes floating in the hot water.

The cause of this is hard water deposits. It is not flakes of fluororesin.

Clean the inner container with citric acid. (See P.28)

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. Hot water from the unit has an unpleasant odor. Hot water does not flow out smoothly.

The mesh filter may be clogged with foreign matter. (See P.27)

Clean the filter with a brush. (See P.27)

If the foreign matter cannot be removed, replace the filter. (See P.29)

Odors of chlorine remain depending on how much chlorine for disinfection is in the water.

Press the 'Long Boil/Reboil' key.

When the unit is new, resin used in manufacture 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

P.30) ●After boiling, bubbles may form for a time and make it difficult to dispense the hot water.

Dispense after opening and closing the lid once. (Be careful of the steam when opening the cover.)

The indicator lights may flash alternately when water is being added, depending on the way the water is supplied.

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

Press the Long Boil/Reboil key. The water is not boiled.

The plug has been disconnected.

Connect the plug. The indicatorlights flashalternately.

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.

Since fluorine insulation is applied all the way down to, near the bottom of, the inner container, the surface may be gritty and the color can be different from that on the side.

The rattling noise in the lid is made by small ball-shaped components which prevent water from flooding out if the unit topples over.

The clicking sound is made by the microprocessor which adjusts heating .

Since the unit keeps water warm at a high temperature, if the room temperature is very high, the outside of the main unit may reach about 130¡F (55¡C). This is normal. Hot water comes out by itself.

Water has been added above maximum water level.

Lower the water level.

Si... Cause possible Solution39 Replacement of parts Consumable parts are available from your nearest authorized dealer . Rubber gaskets Lid cover Remove lid, unscrew 3 tapping screws and remove the lid cover . Exchange the gaskets and then place the lid cover back and secure with the tapping screws. Rubber gaskets Replace gaskets if they crack, lose their pliancy or, for any other reason, allow steam to escape from between the container and the lid. The filter is placed on a magnet which can be pulled and removed . Keep iron, and materials made of iron away from the magnet. (It may cause corrosion.)
