FUN FACTS
- As you chew, hot food cools increasing taste intensity. The taste receptors on our tongue are most active with foods at 86°-95°F.
- Black and herbal teas are best made with water that’s just under a boil, which is about 210°F.
- To achieve the best results for recipes that call for boiled water, it’s best to boil then measure the water. One cup of water can lose up to an ounce, on average, from being boiled and evaporating.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS
- Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
- To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
- To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
- Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and the power cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative or contact Chefman Customer Service for assistance.
- Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not add water above the FULL WATER line on the inside of the pot. Hot water may overflow, causing burns.
- 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.
- Carefully close the lid by pushing down until you hear it click in place.
- When you plug in the power cord, the water will automatically begin to boil.

ABOUT THE OVERHEAT PROTECTION FEATURE
The overheat protection feature operates when the power cord is plugged in but the inner pot is empty of water. If the Hot Water Pot has shut off automatically, unplug the power cord from the eletrical outlet and wait for the Hot Water Pot to cool, and then add water.
DISPENSING WATER
There are three ways to dispense water.
RE-BOILING WATER
When the Hot Water Pot is in Keep Warm Mode, use the Reboil button to boil the water. The boiling light will illuminate once pressed.
- Once the water has re-boiled, the Keep Warm light will illuminate.
- Before boiling, ensure the water level is above the refill mark in water window.
- The re-boil function will be deactivated immediately after the water has finished a re-boil cycle.
LOCK MODE
- Press Lock button to activate Lock Mode and indicator light will turn on. Lock Mode deactivates and locks both the manual dispense button and reboil button.
- To deactivate Lock Mode, simply press the Lock button again. This reactivates the Auto Dispense buttons and Reboil button. When Lock Mode is activated, the Keep Warm and Reboil indicator lights will be off.
- NOTE: If you open and close the lid while the Hot Water Pot is on (even in Lock Mode), it will continue to function without any change just as when the lid is closed. It will not automatically shut off and the function indicator lights will not turn on or off.
- To manually lock the spout so no water can come out, rotate the Manual Push Dial on top of the lid up to the red lock symbol. To unlock, simply turn the dial down to the blue unlock symbol. NOTE: This does not affect any mode or function the Hot Water Pot may be running in. This action simply locks the spout as an added safety feature.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Unplug the dispenser. Detach the lid by opening it. Then, using your thumbs, pull the inner hinge wide enough so that you can remove the lid. Pour out any remaining water.
REMOVING THE LID
- NOTE: Empty the pot at least once a day. Water left in the pot can cause unpleasant odor and accumulation of mineral deposits.
- WARNING: To avoid serious burns, always detach the lid before pouring out the hot water. Do not allow water to splash onto the operation panel, hinge, handle or power supply plug.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Unplug the hot water pot and allow it to cool completely. Remove the power cord before cleaning and be sure that the socket is kept dry.
- Wipe the hot water pot exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do NOT use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the inside or outside of the hot water pot.
- NOTE: Do NOT immerse the appliance in water.
