Precautions when the energy saving timer is used or
when the about 60¡C keep-warm function is selected
●
When the power is restored after a power failure, the timer
will be set to about 98¡C.
●
When the temperature of hot water has dropped because
water was added, the water will be brought up to boiling
temperature.
●
The keep-warm temperature can be changed while the
water is being boiled.
●
The energy saving timer can be set while the water is being
boiled. In this case, even though the timer has been started
the water will be brought to boiling temperature.
●
The minimum water temperature is about 60¡C while the
energy saving timer is being used.

Helpful tips
●
Do not use the unit near an open flame.
(The unit may become deformed.)
●
Do not supply water directly from the tap.
(If the water overflows the pot and it enters the electrical parts
built into the main unit, it may cause a malfunction.)
●
Do not leave water standing in the container.
(It may cause the container to corrode or smell.)
●
Do not pour water out of the pot over the side where the
operation panel is located.
(Water infiltration may cause a malfunction.)

Daily maintenance
Main unit and lid
Wipe any water off the main unit and the lid using a dry
dish cloth.
●
Do not submerge the main unit or the lid in water.
(If water enters the main unit from the bottom or from the
dispensing spout, it can also get into the electrical
components in the main unit and it may cause a malfunction.)
●
Do not use detergents.
(They may leave an odor.)
●
Do not use benzine or thinner to clean the pot.
(They may damage the surface.)
Container
Wipe any water off the inside of the container using a
damp sponge.
●
Do not use polishing powder, a scrub brush or a nylon
brush to clean the container.
(They may damage the fluororesin finish.)
Filter
Clean the filter using a brush.
* After washing the filter, be sure to reattach it to the container.
15
When the container shows signs of being covered with scale
While you are using this unit, minerals dissolved in the water
(like calcium) can get stuck on the container or on the filter.
This is called "scale", and it is not harmful.
●
Milky-white gritty surface
●
White or glittering floating material
●
Discoloration in the finish like dark brown, gray, or green areas.
These are not discoloration or corrosion of the container itself,
nor are they flakes from the fluororesin covering.
To maintain the pot's performance, clean the container once
every two or three months using citric acid.
Helpful tips
●
Do not wash in a dishwasher and never put it in a heated dish
dryer. (The unit may become deformed.)
●
To store the unit, dry it thoroughly and put it into a plastic bag.
Seal the bag to keep insects from getting in.

A clattering sound heard when the lid is opened or closed is the sound of the safety valve moving. The valve prevents hot water
from flowing out of the unit if the unit is knocked over.
