BoiL-Dry proteCtion

Note: To prevent the boil-dry feature activating, always make sure water is visible in the water
gauge.
The urn is protected by a thermal limiter which can be manually reset. The manual reset
button is located under the base of the urn.
If the urn has boiled dry, the thermal limiter will automatically switch off the element. The
lights will also remain off until manually reset.
Note: The urn must be unplugged before it can be reset.
To reset the urn, wait until the appliance has cooled down.
Press the reset button.
Add water until visible in the water gauge.
Plug the power cord into the wall power outlet and switch it on.
Set the On/Off switch to the On position, check if the "Heating" light is on. If the light is on, it
indicates the urn has recovered to normal working condition.
If the "Heating" light is still off, switch off the power and remove the plug from the wall power
outlet and repeat the above process again. This may need to be done several times until the
urn returns to normal working condition.
If the resetting process does not switch the urn back on, please call customer service.
Note: This facility is for the protection of the user as well as the components. Do not attempt to
bypass the boil dry protection.
