SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY
To ensure the safe and efficient operation of your HotCup
™
it is important to descale
it regularly. The harder your water the more regularly it will need doing. Your water
company should be able to tell you how hard the water is in your area. Untreated scale
deposits prevent the element conducting heat efficiently therefore wasting electricity.
Scale can also cause your HotCup
™
to malfunction or even cause premature failure.
Descaling using a proprietary descaling product
1. Fill your HotCup
™
to the MAX fill level and place an empty cup on the drip tray. Press
the start button and wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.
2. Add a citric acid-based proprietary descaling product to the hot water in the cup and
stir.
3. Tip the contents of the cup into your HotCup
™
and close the lid.
4. Place the empty cup on the drip tray and press the start button.
5. Wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.
6. Discard the water from the cup.
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until the water level is at the MIN mark. Open the lid and
empty any remaining water into the sink. Rinse your HotCup
™
by filling it with clean
water and emptying it into the sink (see Emptying your HotCup
™
on page 8).
Fill your HotCup
™

supermarket. Citric acid can be bought from pharmacies, home brewing/winemaking
suppliers or on-line retailers.
