NOTE:
This appliance is intended for water only. Using anything other than water (soup,
milk, tea, coffee) will cause bubbles resulting in hot liquid spilling out from the appliance and
potentially causing burns. Using non-water liquids will cause the pump to cease working and
prevent the flow of water. The inner pot could erode as well.
HOW TO USE
1.
Before using your Chefman Hot Water Pot for the first time, boil and discard one full pot of
water by following the instructions below. You may notice a plastic smell for the first time
when you use the dispenser. This is normal and will fade over time.
2. Fill the Hot Water Pot by pouring cold water from another container such as a jug.
WARNING:
Do not fill the pot directly from the tap, as over-flowing water could cause a
short circuit or electric shock.
3. Do not add water above the FULL WATER line on the inside of the pot. Hot water may
overflow, causing burns.
4. Be careful not to splash water on the control panel or on the outside of the Hot Water Pot.
Splashing water can damage the Hot Water Pot and cause an electric shock.
5. Carefully close the lid by pushing down until you hear it click in place.
6. When you plug in the power cord, the water will automatically begin to boil.
