There is a safety thermal cut-out device
fitted to the unit. If the unit is allowed to boil dry
this will operate and prevent further use. Switch
the unit off and allow it to cool for at least 5
minutes, refill with water and then switch on
again - the thermal cut-out should automatically
re-set. If this has not re-set allow a further
cooling period.
When you have finished using the unit allow
any remaining water to cool and then empty
the unit. We recommend flushing the tank out
with clean water before storing. NEVER
LEAVE WATER IN THE UNIT WHILST
BEING STORED.

will be released from beneath the cap.
