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 and then measure the water. One cup of water can lose up to an ounce, on average, from being boiled and evaporated.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Read all Instructions.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use caution when handling hot liquids.
- To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cords or plugs in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Chefman Customer Support at 1-888-315-6553 or customerservice@chefman.com
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

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 a cord or the appliance.
- To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into an outlet.
- To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the 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.

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 overflowing 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 it 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 the water window.
- The re-boil function will be deactivated immediately after the water has finished a re-boil cycle.
LOCK MODE
- Press the Lock button to activate the Lock Mode and the 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 buttons. When Lock Mode is activated, the Keep Warm and Reboil indicator lights will be off.
- 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
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

- Do NOT immerse the appliance in water.
