SPECIFICATIONS

Installation Requirements:
It is essential that this appliance is installed correctly. Installation should comply with all local electrical, and health and safety requirements. WEEE directive registration no. WEE/DK0059TT At end of unit life, dispose of appliance and any replacement parts in a safe manner, via a licenced waste handler. Units are designed to be dismantled easily and recycling of all material is encouraged whenever practicable.

Before Connection to Power Supply:
Remove all packaging. Check the appliance for damage. Report any damage immediately to the carrier or supplier. Remove any protective plastic coating. Any water in the urn is due to testing and is normal. Check the available power supply corresponds to that shown on the appliance rating label.

Location:
This electric urn is for indoor use only. Allow at least 100mm clearance from any wall. Only use on a flat level surface, that is adequate to support the weight when full of water. Do not lift or move the urn when it contains hot water or when the mains lead is plugged in. The appliance is only to be installed in locations where its use and maintenance is restricted to trained personnel. The mains lead should reach from the mains socket without straining the connections. Do not let the mains lead hang over the edge of the table or counter, and keep it away from any hot surfaces. Do not let the mains lead run across an open space. Do not place the appliance where the mains lead could fall into a sink. Do not place the appliance near a hot gas or electric burner.

Electrical Connection:
Fitting a plug:
The mains lead of this appliance will already be fitted with a BS1363 13A plug. If the fuse has to be replaced, use a 13 amp fuse complying with BS 1362. If the plug is not suitable for your socket then the plug must be cut off and disposed of safely. An appropriate plug should be fitted as follows:
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow – Earth Blue – Neutral Brown – Live The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black or blue. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red or brown. Make sure that the connections are tight and that there are no loose strands of wire and no insulation trapped under the terminals. Tighten the clamp in the plug making sure that it grips the outer covering of the cord. If fitting a BS 1363 13A fused plug then fit a 13A fuse. Tighten the plug cover securely. If you are in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT : replace the supply cord if damaged. The supply cord may become warm when the appliance is in use.

USER GUIDE

TO AVOID BEING SCALDED, KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM ANY STEAM FROM THE LID WHEN THE URN IS OPERATNG OR HAS JUST BEEN SWITCHED OFF.
TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY AND REMOVE THE PLUG WHEN NOT IN USE, BEFORE CLEANING, AND BEFORE REPLACING ANY PARTS.
Filling:
IMPORTANT: always put water in the urn before switching on. Remove the lid by turning anti-clockwise and fill the urn with the desired amount of water. Do not fill above the ‘MAX’ capacity mark.

WARNING: if the urn is overfilled there is a risk that boiling water will be ejected from around the lid. Underfilling may cause the thermal cut-out to operate (and may shorten the element life). Replace the lid by turning clockwise to lock. The urn is not suitable for heating liquids other than water, or for heating water containing solids. If the water is being heated for tea making, make the tea in another container.

Controls:
The green power indicator will be illuminated whenever power is connected to the urn. Turn the thermostat to the desired setting, the amber heating indicator will be illuminated whenever the element is on. This will go on and off as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature:

Knob setting

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 6

Approximate water temp

• 30°C
• 43°C
• 56°C
• 69°C
• 82°C
• 92°C

THIS URN IS NOT INTENDED TO CONTINUOUSLY BOIL WATER, DUE TO THE HAZARDS OF STEAM AND WATER ESCAPING FROM UNDER THE LID. If it is necessary to keep the water at an exact temperature, use a thermometer to check. Stir the water before taking the temperature and when the desired temperature has been reached, turn the control knob slowly to the left until a click from the thermostat is heard. The thermostat will then cycle on and off to maintain the temperature.

Serving:
The tap has two open positions, one self-holding so that the tap remains open, and the other self-closing so that the tap closes as soon as the lever is released. Lift the lever up for the self-holding position, press the lever down for the self-closing position. Return the lever to the horizontal position to close the tap.

After use:
Turn the control knob to 0 and disconnect from the mains supply. Water may be left in the urn when not in use for short periods, but to maintain a supply of fresh water, it should be emptied periodically and cleaned out. WARNING: only move the urn when it is disconnected and cool.

Protective cut-out:
The heating element is fitted with a thermal cut-out which protects the urn from damage if allowed to boil dry or switched on without water. It is essential to keep the heating element free from scale to ensure correct operation of this cut-out. Scale can cause the cut-out to operate when water is heating up normally. If the cut-out operates, allow the urn to cool down, drain out any water then press the red reset button situated under the base.

Cleaning:
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY AND REMOVE THE PLUG BEFORE CLEANING, ALLOW THE URN TO COOL THIS URN IS NOT WATERPROOF DO NOT USE A WATER JET SPRAY TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE APPLIANCE, OR USE A WATER JET IN THE VICINITY OF THE APPLIANCE

Exterior
Clean with water and detergent. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners as this could damage the surface finish.

Interior
Brush any scale or sediment from the element and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Descaling

In hard water areas scale will form on the element and interior. This will adversely affect the operation of the urn if allowed to accumulate. Descale on a regular basis, using a proprietary descaler recommended for stainless steel kettles. Follow the instructions provided with the descaling product.

Scale build-up can also cause the tap to drip. If this should occur, turn off the power supply and remove the plug. Empty the urn and allow it to cool. Unscrew the top of the tap from the body. Wipe, scrape and break the scale away from the rubber flexible seal and from the sealing surfaces inside the plastic body of the tap. Reassemble in reverse order.

Failure to regulary descale this unit will invalidate the warranty
