When the function to prevent
accidental boiling without water
in the main unit is performed, the

water, attach the lid, and start
the boiling process.

A "bubbling" sound is
heard.
The "bubbling" sound is generated by the bursting of air bubbles
while boiling water.
The "bubbling"

The hot water
smells.
Depending on the amount of disinfectant chlorine in the tap water,
the chlorine smell may remain.
Although resin and other materials may smell for the first several
times, they become less noticeable with use.

The inner container
is dirty.
White material is
floating in the hot
water.
This is due to the action of the
minerals contained in water: It is
not the discoloration or corrosion
of the inner container itself.
Clean the inner container
using citric acid.
13
Some lines and
waves appear in the
plastic area.
These traces occurred during molding and do not affect the proper
functioning of the product.
Sounds are sometimes
heard for some moments
after use.
These sounds are heard when the heated parts are cooling down,
so there are no problems with the main unit's operational quality.
Water droplets are
dripping from the vent
on the base of the
handle.
The product is designed so that the power turns off when steam is
detected. Steam may exit as water droplets from the vent on the
base of the handle, but this not a malfunction.
Check the following before asking for a repair.
