Frequently Asked Questions - PCHWS 1168 PROFICOOK

How to descale the ProfiCook PCHWS 1168 hot water dispenser?

Use exclusively a descaling product based on citric acid. Pour it into the water-filled tank, then dispense water at 100 °C. Do not consume this water. Then rinse by dispensing a full tank of clear water at 100 °C. Repeat monthly.

What to do if the appliance no longer heats water?

First check that the tank is filled with water. If the indicator light stays red, turn off the appliance, fill with cold water, then turn it on again. If the problem persists, the overheat protection has activated: use the supplied key to press the RESET button located under the tank.

How to clean the spout?

The spout is removable. Turn it slightly clockwise to remove it. Clean it with a nylon brush. For deep descaling, immerse it in hot water with descaling product for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Can I use the dispenser with beverages other than water?

No, the appliance is designed exclusively for heating drinking water. Never heat other liquids or food, as this could damage the appliance.

No, the dispenser does not stop automatically. You must press the push button again to stop dispensing. Be careful to avoid overflows.

How to empty the appliance for storage?

Place the appliance on its side (do not turn it completely over). Use a coin to open the drain flap by turning counterclockwise. Let the water drain. Close by turning clockwise.

The indicator stays red even when the tank is full, what to do?

The red light indicates the preheating phase. Wait for it to turn green. If it stays red, check that the tank is properly seated and the valve is open. If necessary, turn off and on the appliance.

What water temperature to use in the tank?

The ideal water temperature in the tank is between 22 °C and 28 °C. Do not use water above 35 °C or below 15 °C to avoid temperature variations during dispensing.

De-scaling

The intervals at which you should remove lime-scale depend on hardness of the tap water and operating time. If the preparation time increases significantly, de-calcification will be necessary. Regardless, we recommend de-scaling the appliance once a month.

• Use only commercially available citrus acid-based de-scaler.
• Dose as indicated on packaging or instruction leaflet.
• Dispense hot water with a temperature of 100 °C once. Do not pour that water away immediately. As long as it is hot you may still use it to de-scale the water faucet if needed. Please observe the instructions that we have included in the chapter “Cleaning”.

WARNING:

• Afterwards, let the maximum tank content run through the appliance while having the temperature setting at 100^ to rinse out residues of the de-scaling agent.
• Do not use this water for consumption.

Cleaning

WARNING:

• Before cleaning, always remove the mains plug and wait until the appliance has cooled down.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water. Otherwise this might result in an electric shock or fire.

CAUTION:

• Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive items.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
  • Empty the water tank completely.
• Wipe out the water tank with a damp cloth (without additives). Then wipe it with a dry cloth.
• When using the appliance for the first time rinse the water tank with clean water. Use a cloth to wipe the water tank dry. Repeat this step several times.
  • Empty the drip tray. Wipe it dry.
• Use a microfibre cloth to remove water stains on the stainless steel plating.
• The exterior of the appliance should be cleaned as necessary with a slightly damp cloth - without any additives.

Cleaning the Water Faucet

The water faucet is removable.

1. Slightly turn it clockwise and pull it off. If necessary, use a thin cloth to do this.

2. Remove possible scale residues with a nylon brush. In case you previously de-scaled the appliance and kept the hot water with the de-scaling agent put the water faucet in this water for approx. half an hour. Or prepare a hot de-scaling bath.

3. Then rinse the water faucet under running water several times.

4. Put the water faucet back onto the appliance. Turn it anticlockwise until it clicks into place.

Storage

Clean the appliance as described and let it dry completely. Additionally drain the remaining water if you do not intend to use it for a longer period of time. For this purpose refer to figure B on page 3 and proceed as follows:

1. Put the appliance on one side.

Do not turn the appliance upside down. The lid of the water tank may break off.

1. Turn the drain closure anticlockwise e.g. with a small coin.
2. Put the appliance upright. The drainage will be emptied.
