Safety advices for using the appliance

• Do not operate the appliance in the vicinity of sources of heat (ovens, gas flames etc.) or in explosive environments where inflammable liquids or gases are located. Ensure unhindered air supply.
• Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and even surface. Keep sufficient distance on all sides of the appliance in order to avoid damage through heat or steam and to grant an unobstructed work area.
• Place it beyond children’s reach.
• Ensure that the unit is assembled properly (especially level indicator and outlet tap), before filling the pot!
• Do not fill the pot over the “MAX” marking. Hot liquid may spurt out when overfilling!
• Never operate the appliance without liquid.
• In case your appliance happens to boil dry, there is an additional safety feature to prevent the appliance from overheating. In this case allow the appliance to cool well before filling it again with water; otherwise there is the risk of scalding by sudden development of steam.
• Do not use sharp or pointed objects for stirring.
• Before cleaning or transporting the appliances, it must be cooled down completely. Always grab the appliance at the lateral handles. Never transport the unit by carrying it at the bow-type top handle.
• Do not store the appliance outside or in damp rooms.
• For disconnecting the appliance from the mains, only use the plug, never the cord!
• Never immerse the appliance, the power cord or the mains plug in water for cleaning.
• Pull the mains plug after each use for safe switch-off.

Prior to initial use

Prior to first use, remove all packing materials and adhesive tapes; then clean the appliance and all accessory parts. For more information refer to the point “Cleaning and maintenance”.
NOTE: During the initial operation it is possible for smell to develop, which, however, will disappear after a short period of operation. For hygienic reasons we recommend to bring the appliance, half-filled with water, to a boil with temperature control at MAX position; afterwards clean the cooled pot inside.

Operating the appliance

Switching on

• Make sure the unit is assembled properly and the outlet tap is closed (tap-handle in upright position).
• Liquids must be filled in with caution; observe the “MAX” marking inside!
• Place the cover and lock it.
• Connect the plug to the mains.
• Switch the appliance on by setting the rocker switch to position “I”. The lower pilot lamp (yellow) glows.
• Select the desired temperature by turning the control knob.
  • The appliance starts heating, the lower pilot lamp (yellow) goes out and the upper pilot lamp (red) glows.
  • The heating-up time depends on the quantity and quality of the liquid to be heated. As soon as the set temperature is reached, the upper pilot lamp (red) extinguishes and the lower pilot lamp (yellow) starts glowing.
  • As soon as the appliance reheats, the lower lamp (yellow) goes out and the upper lamp (red) glows again.
  • The alternating glowing of both pilot lamps indicates the operating mode of the unit.
  • The temperature setting may be adjusted at any time during use.

TIP: The optimal temperature for mulled wine and punch is 65 – 70 °C.
NOTE: Determined by the construction of the appliance, a certain residual amount of liquid will remain inside the pot when emptied through the outlet tap. By cautiously inclining the pot to the front when draining, the residual liquid can be reduced. Mind to remove the drip tray before inclining the unit!

Switching off

• After use switch the appliance off by setting the rocker switch to “0” and turning the control knob to “0” position.
• Pull the mains plug.
• After cooling you can pour out any residual liquids and clean the complete appliance.

Outlet tap

The appliance features a robust outlet tap for pouring out liquids easily and in suitable portions. Depending on the position of the tap handle, dispensing is done manually (in portions) or constantly.

Dispensing liquids manually

Turn the tap handle until its half-round underside faces to the front. To dispense liquid, tip the tap handle to the front and keep it until the desired amount of liquid has been drawn off. To stop dispensing, just let the tap handle go and it will return to its upright position and close the tap automatically.

Dispensing liquids constantly

Turn the tap handle until its square side faces to the front. For dispensing permanently, just fold the tap handle to the front and let it engage. The tap will stay open until the tap handle gets manually reset to its upright position for closing the tap.

Disassembling the outlet tap
The outlet tap can be disassembled for cleaning.

ATTENTION: Prior to disassembly make sure the unit has cooled down and got disconnected from the mains. Empty the pot completely before taking out the tap!

• Loosen the upper part of the tap by turning the metal ring anti-clockwise and remove it from the tap’s base.
• Remove the seal collar.
• Clean all parts thoroughly. We recommend using a small bottle brush.
• For cleaning do not insert sharp or pointed objects into the assembled outlet tap.

Assembling the outlet tap

• Before assembly let all parts dry.
• Slide the seal collar firmly on the upper part of the tap until it locks in place.
• Set the upper part of the tap on the tap’s base and firmly screw together clockwise.
• Check for leak-tightness.

Level indicator

The outboard level indicator allows for easily reading the fill quantity at any time. This indicator can be disassembled for easy cleaning.

Disassembling the indicator

ATTENTION: Prior to disassembly make sure the unit is completely empty, has cooled down and got disconnected from the mains.

• Loosen the closing cap by unscrewing it anti-clockwise then take it off. When doing so, secure the holder.
• Remove the riser pipe to the top.
• Loosen the riser pipe holder by turning it anti-clockwise and take it off. Mind to not crush or bend the holder.
• Remove the seal washer.
• Clean all parts thoroughly. We recommend using a small bottle brush.

Assembling the indicator

• Insert the seal washer.
• Position the riser pipe holder and fix firmly by turning it clockwise.
• Insert the riser pipe (align scale to the front).
• Insert the closing cap by firmly screwing on clockwise.
• Check for leak-tightness

Drip tray

The unit features a detachable drip tray which is not mounted when delivered.

• To fix the drip tray, engage the snap arms into the intended gaps. Press down the tray to lock in place.
• During use, the drip tray should be emptied regularly to avoid overflow.
• The drip tray can be detached any time for cleaning or storage purpose. For detaching cautiously lift the tray until the snap-arms disengage, then take out to the front.

Overheating/boil dry protection

The integrated overheating/boil dry protection will cut the power supply in case the appliance gets overheated. Both pilot lamps extinguish. After this cut-off a reset of the fuse is necessary.
NOTE: The appliance can only be restarted after it has cooled down and a reset of the overheating protection had been done.

• Switch the appliance off by setting the rocker switch to „0“-position and pulling the mains plug.
• Let the appliance cool down for a short while and empty the pot.
• To make a reset of the overheating protection, press the pivot at the underside of the appliance. You have successfully reset the fuse when you heard a clear “click”.
• Now the appliance can be restarted.

Cleaning and maintenance

Hazard of injuries or burns! Always disconnect the mains plug prior to cleaning. Never immerse appliance, mains plug and power cord in water!Let all parts cool down before cleaning!

Clean the appliance after each use and after prolonged storaged.

• Clean the pot outside and inside with a damp cloth.
• Disassemble and clean outlet tap and level indicator. To do so, use a small bottle brush, for example. (See also under “Outlet tap” and “Level indicator”).
• Detach and clean the drip tray.
• Wipe thoroughly dry all parts after cleaning.
• Also make sure that no water or steam may infiltrate the underside of the appliance.
• Do not use abrasives or solvents!
• Do not use steel wool or sharp, scratchy objects for cleaning!
• Do not use a steam-jet appliance!
• Make sure the appliance was cleaned completely before storing it in a dry place.

Descaling the appliance
Depending on the water hardness, a descaling of the appliance is necessary from time to time as a calcareous layer may influence the heating performance and the temperature control.

• Calcareous residues can be removed with some vinegar in water or with a standard descaling agent.
• Afterward boil the appliance with clear water and rinse thoroughly.
• When using descaling agents, observe the producer’s instructions.
