Preparation

For hygienic reasons, the appliance should be filled with approx. 5 liters of water before using it for the first time. Boil this water for approx. 5 minutes at the highest temperature. Then drain the water from the tank. After that, rinse with fresh water and again drain this water.

Clean the lid thoroughly with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse the lid with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Electrical connection

Check if the mains voltage to be used matches the voltage of the appliance. The details can be found on the information plate (under the appliance) and in the chapter "Technical Data".

Connected Wattage

The appliance can consume 1500 W of power in total. With this connected wattage, a separate feed protected by a 16 amp circuit breaker is recommended.

CAUTION: Overload!

• When using extension cords, these should have a cable cross-section of at least 1.5 ~mm^2 .
• Do not use any multiple sockets, as this appliance is too powerful.

Power On / Off

Power on:

Turn the temperature control (10) clockwise to the desired temperature. Switch the On / Off Switch I/O (7) to position I. The control light in the On / Off Switch I/O (7) lights up red.

NOTE:

Depending on the ambient temperature and the content that is being heated in the tank, differences between the set and the actual temperature can occur.

To turn off:

Switch the On / Off Switch I/O (7) to position O. The control light in the On / Off Switch I/O (7) turns off. Turn the temperature control (10) counterclockwise as far as it will go to the position °C.

Operation

Heating and Keeping Warm:

1. Fill the appliance with the desired beverages. Minimum filling level 3 liters.
2. Insert the mains plug (12) into the socket.
3. Before use, turn the lid (2) and lock it with the lock mechanism of the lid (3).
4. Turn the temperature control (10) clockwise to

the desired temperature. The temperature control (10) can variably adjust the temperature between approx. 30^ C - 100^ C.

1. Switch the On / Off Switch (7) to position I. The red Power control light (7) and the red heating control (9) light are turned on.
2. When the set temperature is reached, the heating control light (9) switches off and the green "keeping warm" control light turns on; the appliance remains in "keeping warm" state and holds the set temperature until it is switched off.
3. In order to drain liquid, pull the tap (11) up or push it down and hold it in this position, until the cup or tank is filled. Release the tap (11) after the tapping process, it shuts off automatically. For a steady flow, push the tap (11) up or down until it locks, after overcoming a slight resistance; the tap (11) remains open.

Cleaning

WARNING:

• Always turn the appliance off before cleaning and disconnect the power plug (12). Wait until the appliance has cooled.
• Never immerse the appliance into water or other liquids.
• The appliance is not suitable for cleaning with a jet of water. Therefore, do not clean this appliance with a pressure water jet!

• Clean the appliance regularly.

• Clean the outside with a damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used for heavy dirt. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or sprays.

• Thoroughly wash the inside of the tank and rinse with fresh water.
• Only use a soft cloth and never use any kind of abrasive cleaners, which might cause scratches.
• Do not use steel wool for cleaning. Small pieces might come off the steel wool, get stuck in the tap, and cause damage to the sealing surface.
• When used daily, the whole tapping mechanism must be cleaned once a week, when used more rarely, it does not have to be cleaned that often. Unscrew the lid of the tap for cleaning, detach the silicon seated cone, and clean all parts in warm water with a mild detergent. Clean the inside of the tap and the connection to the tank with a small bottle brush. Never push the brush into the assembled tap because it would damage the seated cone.
• Never use flammable detergents (e.g. spirit) because they cause a higher risk of fire or explosion when the appliance is next used.
• Calcareous water causes a layer of lime to settle in the tank, especially at the bottom of the tank, which can influence the heating capacity of the appliance. This can be easily removed by adding a descaling agent with a citric acid base and bringing this solution to a boil. Refer to the instructions on the decalcifier for the correct dosage.
• Thoroughly rinse the tank with fresh water after decalcifying.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to dry and polish the surface after cleaning.
• Make sure the appliance was cleaned properly before storing it in a dry place.

i NOTE:

After decalcifying, boil some fresh water in order to remove any residues. Do not use this water for consumption.
