If you have a question that is not covered below, feel free to Contact Us.
Q. What can the Water Urn be used for?
 The Water Urn can only be used to boil water.
Q. How much water does it hold?
 8.8 litres
Q. I have just opened the box, what should I do?
 Remove all packaging.
 Place the urn on a dry, heat resistant, flat surface.
 Fill it to the MAX line using a jug or manageable size container.
 Plug it in and turn the power on.
 Flick the switch to the 'on' position- the "HEATING" light will illuminate.
 Once the water has boiled, the "HOT" light will illuminate.
 Empty the Urn. Take care whilst emptying the Urn as the water will be hot. DO NOT try to tip
the Urn to empty the water, always leave it on a level surface and empty through the tap.
 This helps eliminate any manufacturing dust and cleans the Urn.
Q. Can I only put water in the Urn?
 Yes, no other liquids should be used in the urn unless it is a descaling agent, such as citric
acid, white vinegar, lemon juice or a commercial descaling agent.
Q. There is still space left in the top of the Urn even though I have reached the MAX line, can I just
fill it to the top?
 No, the Urn cannot be filled over the max line as it may overflow and spit water when
boiling.
Q. Can I move the Urn once it is full?
 No, the Urn will be too heavy and the unsteady load can cause strain or injury.
Q. How do I fill the urn?
 Place the Urn in the area you wish to be using it, on a flat heat resistant surface.
 Use a jug or hose to fill the urn.
Q. What is boil dry protection?
 When water is held at a high temperature it produces steam. The longer it is hot, the more
steam escapes and lower the water level gets.
 The element can be damaged when heating with insufficient water.
 To stop the element form getting damaged it automatically shuts off when there isn't
enough water it the unit.
 When the boil dry protection kicks in the light on the unit stays on but the unit will not work
until it has been reset.
 THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EMPTIED AND UNPLUGGED BEFORE IT CAN RESET
