Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

The on/off switch will not stay 

in the on position.

The Hot Cup has not reset 

itself after the boiling cycle.

The Hot Cup is still too hot 

after the last boil cycle. Wait 

a few seconds for it to cool 

slightly before trying again.

The water tank does not 

illuminate and the Hot Cup 

does not dispense boiling 

water.

•  The Hot Cup is not 

plugged in.

•  The Hot Cup is not 

positioned correctly on its 

power base.

•  The fuse has blown.
•  The Hot Cup has boiled 

dry.

•  Check the Hot Cup is 

plugged in and switched 

on at the supply socket.

•  Check that the dispensing 

nozzle is positioned 

centrally over the drip tray.

•  Check the fuse in the 

plug.

•  Allow the Hot Cup to cool 

down completely then 

refill it with water.

The Hot Cup does not 

dispense a full cup of water

The Hot Cup has excessive 

scale.

Descale your Hot Cup

The Hot Cup produces 

excess steam but does not 

dispense boiling water.

•  The water level has 

dropped below the MIN 

level.

•  The Hot Cup has 

excessive scale.

•  Fill with water between 

the MIN and MAX 

markings then restart the 

boil cycle.

•  Descale your Hot Cup.

The on/off switch has been 

manually switched off during 

the boil cycle but hot water is 

still dispensed.

The Hot Cup is designed to 

boil a set volume of water. 

Once the temperature of 

the water reaches a certain 

level it will automatically be 

dispensed.

Allow it to finish the boil cycle 

and dispense any water into 

the drip tray. Allow any water 

in the drip tray to cool down 

then empty it.

The Hot Cup makes a 

noise and there is a ‘clunk’ 

sound after water has been 

dispensed.

This is the sound of the 

internal valve operating after 

the boil cycle finishes.

This is normal operation.

Water drips from the 

dispensing nozzle after the 

boil cycle has finished.

There is a residual amount of 

water left inside the Hot Cup 

after the boil cycle.

This is normal operation

Steam comes out from 

behind the on/off button and 

behind the dispensing nozzle

Steam is being vented in a 

controlled manner through 

designed vents

This is normal operation
