Frequently Asked Questions - CD-LFC50 Zojirushi

Can I use mineral water or Alkalized Ionic water in this kettle?

Yes, but note that mineral or Alkalized Ionic water may cause a floating residue or milky white substance on the Inner Container. This is harmless. Frequent cleaning is recommended.

How often should I change the water?

To prevent scale buildup, change the water at least once a day.

What should I do if the water does not heat up?

Check that the Power Plug is properly connected to an electrical outlet. If still not heating, refer to the troubleshooting guide.

How do I clean the kettle?

Use the citric acid cleaning cycle. Fill with water and 1 packet of Zojirushi Citric Acid Cleaner (CD-K03E-JU). Press the REBOIL/QUICK TEMP button for more than 3 seconds to start. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly.

What does the 'HH' display mean?

'HH' indicates the Automatic Shut-Off function has activated, usually because the Inner Container is low on water or hot water was added. Unplug, let cool, add water, and plug back in.

Can I heat liquids other than water?

No. Only heat water. Heating other liquids may cause malfunction, overflow, or scalding.

How do I use the Café Drip Dispensing mode?

Press the UNLOCK button twice. The UNLOCK light will blink. Then press DISPENSE to dispense water at a reduced flow (60% of normal) for about 60 seconds, ideal for drip coffee.

Why does the water have a chlorine smell?

Chlorine is used to sterilize tap water. Using the regular Boil mode will remove most chlorine after boiling. The Quick Temp mode may not remove chlorine completely.

How do I replace the Inner Lid Gasket?

Check the gasket annually. If it turns white or steam leaks, loosen the 3 screws on the Upper Lid, remove the old gasket, fit the new gasket securely to the rim of the Inner Lid, and tighten screws. Use part #627575-00.

Is it safe to leave the kettle unattended?

Yes, the kettle has an Automatic Shut-Off function that turns off the heater if the water runs out. However, avoid repeatedly boiling an empty container as it may damage the nonstick coating.

Q&A ON PRODUCT USE

Is it okay to use the product for heating liquids other than water? ▶	Do not fill the product with any liquid other than water. It may cause malfunction, or may overflow and cause scalding.	pg.3
Does the water need to be changed every day? ▶	To prevent scale from building up, please change the water at least once a day.	pg.10
Is it okay to use mineral water or Alkalized Ionic water? ▶	Yes. However, when mineral or Alkalized Ionic water is used, a floating residue may develop or milky white substance may form on the surface of the Inner Container. This is due to the ingredients in the water and is harmless to your health. Frequent cleaning is recommended.	pg.9 pg.17
I accidentally drank water while performing the Citric Acid Cleaning. Is this harmful to my health? ▶	Please follow the instructions shown on the package of the citric acid cleaner CD-K03E-JU.
Is it okay to go out while the product is turned on? ▶	It is safe to use the product unattended as it has an Automatic Shut-Off function (power to the heater will be automatically turned off), which will be activated once it is empty of water. However be careful not to repeat the boiling process without filling the Inner Container with water, as the Nonstick Coating may discolor and peel.	pg.11
