HOW TO USE
SWAN hot water urns are constructed almost entirely of hygienic stainless steel and
should give many years of trouble-free service as long as they are used in accordance
with these instructions.
For all models:
Before first use, remove all packaging, rinse out the urn with warm water (without
detergent).
Fill the urn with the desired amount of water taking care not to fill past the MAX level
indicator. Avoid under filling the urn as this will cause the overheat protection system
to operate and could reduce the life of the element.
For auto models: SWU10L, SWU20L, SWU26L
Connect the urn to a suitable 220-240V AC 13 Amp mains supply and turn on the
ON/OFF switch. The light will illuminate and the urn will begin to heat the water.
Typical boiling time from cold for the 20 litre model is about 1 hour. This will be less
or more depending on the size of the urn and the ambient temperature in the room.
Temperature control
Once the water has reached temperature, the urn will switch itself off. As the water
cools or if more cold water is added, the urn will switch itself back on again. Typical
temperature range on auto models is 96C to 85C. Plenty hot enough for tea!
For Simmerstat models: SWU8LS, SWU16LS
The simmerstat (pictured right) gives more
control over the water temperature. The range
is around 60C to 100C depending on setting
and ambient temperature in the room.
NOTE: The simmerstats on Swan urns are more
reliable temperature-based, not timer based
To Use
Fill the urn as directed above, taking care not to
over (or under) fill. Connect to suitable mains supply. Set the Simmerstat to setting
4 or 5. The urn will heat the water. From cold, this will take between 30 mins and 1
hour depending on the size of the urn and ambient temperature in the room. Once
the water has boiled, you can set the Simmerstat at a lower setting to save energy. A
setting of around 3-4 is usually sufficient.
