Prior to First Use
Remove all packing materials from the inside and outside of the urn
BOIL FRESH WATER INSIDE THE URN ONCE AND DISCARD THE BOILED
WATER BEFORE NORMAL USE. This is the best way to clean away any dust,
debris or manufacturing residue, which could affect the taste of the water.
How to Use
Always use the appliance on a heat-resistant, flat surface.
Open the lid by turning anti-clockwise.
Fill the urn with the desired quantity of cold water between the Min. and Max.
level.
Replace the lid.
Plug the urn into the wall socket and press the 'BOIL' button. The HEATING
indicator will then be illuminated.
When the water has boiled, the urn will switch to keep hot mode automatically.
From cold it takes approximately 45 minutes to boil 8 litres of water.
When dispensing water via the tap hold the cup/vessel as close to the
nozzle as possible to prevent splashing of hot water.
If you need to top up the urn press the BOIL button after filling.
Cleaning
It is extremely important to remember that cleaning of the urn can only be
performed when the plug has been removed from the supply.
Never immerse any part of the urn into water.
Cleaning should be performed when the urn has cooled down.
Always ensure the electrical connections of the urn remain absolutely dry.
Clean the urn with a damp cloth. Do not use cleaning products, which can
cause health hazard or discoloration of the urn.
Ensure the outside and the electrical connection parts of the urn are completely
dry before using.
De- scaling – IMPORTANT WARRANTY ISSUE
It is VITAL to de-scale the urn at regular intervals in order to maintain its looks
and efficiency. Limescale build up severely inhibits the performance of
concealed element urns such as this one. Your warranty does NOT cover faults,
which are a result of limescale build-up.
The frequency of de-scaling will depend upon the area in which you live
There are many de-scaling powders and tablets available in supermarkets &
hardware stores. Just follow the instructions on the packet. However, you should
bear in mind that most descaling powders or tablets are based on treating a 2
litre kettle. Where one tablet is specified you should use 3 or 4 to allow for the
much bigger capacity of the urn.
Always rinse thoroughly after descaling.
Important Safety Notes
Always unplug the urn in the following situations:-
- Before cleaning
- After use
- Before pouring water
Do not unplug the urn by pulling the cable cord.
Never place the urn in a tilted position.
Keep the urn out of reach of children.
Improper use of urn may result in serious scald.
As there is boiling water inside the urn, always ensure the lid is securely
fitted whenever urn is turned on or hot water is inside.
Be careful of hot steam when removing the lid for refilling
Never switch on the urn when the water level inside is higher than the indicated
maximum level or lower than the minimum level. Otherwise, this will cause
water spillage and damage to the heating element respectively. Though there is
a cut-off device if the urn overheats, allowing the unit to boil dry will eventually
damage the heating element.
Avoid touching the exterior of the urn as it will be very hot.
Never place the urn on a hot surface.
