WARNING: Please ensure that the electrical socket can accommodate the plug supplied with the product. Do not attempt to alter the plug in any way.
SHORT CABLE INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cable is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cable. Longer detachable power-supply cables or extension cables are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cable is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cable set or extension cable should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

POWER CABLE SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on the cable or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the socket.

4. Never use the product if the power cable shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cable tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cable where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CABLE SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odour. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after the appliance has been used a few more times. This appliance is not intended for use by

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the hot water pot except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit.

2. Gently wipe down the exterior, interior, and lid with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any packaging residue. Dry completely.
   CAUTION: Never immerse the hot water pot, cable, or plug in water or any other liquid; do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.

3. Place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant surface positioned at least 5 cm away from the wall or any other objects.

4. To clean the pot of packaging residue and prime it for use, bring one tankful of water to a full boil following the directions below. Be sure to dispense some hot water through the spout. Let the water cool, then discard the water and dry well.
   NOTE: You may notice a plastic smell the first time you use the dispenser. This is normal and will fade with use.

HOW TO USE THE HOT WATER POT
With its water-viewing window, simple operation, and one-handed dispensing, the hot water pot is super easy to use.

1. Place the unit on a flat surface with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.
   CAUTION: Make sure the unit is placed out of the reach of children. If the dispenser is accidentally pressed or knocked into, hot water will dispense and can result in injury.

2. Press the button on the lid and open it. Fill the inner pot with cold water, pouring from another container such as a jug.
   WARNING: Do not fill the pot directly from the tap, as overflowing water could create a short circuit or electric shock. Do not
   fill past the Full Water (MAX) Guide Mark, as this can cause overflowing of hot water.
   NOTE: This appliance is intended for water only. Using liquids other than water can damage the unit.

3. Be careful not to splash water on the control panel or on the outside of the hot water pot. Splashing can damage the unit and may cause an electric shock.

4. Close the lid by pushing down until you hear it click into place.

5. Connect the power cable to the unit, then plug it into an electrical socket. Turn on the On/Off switch and the water will begin heating.

HOW TO DISPENSE HOT WATER
There are three ways to dispense water.

REBOILING WATER
When the hot water pot is in Keep Warm Mode, press the REBOIL button to boil water; the BOILING light will illuminate.

• Once the water has reboiled, the KEEP WARM light will illuminate.
• Before reboiling, ensure the water level is above the Refill (MIN) Guide Mark in the water-viewing window.
• The Reboil function will be deactivated immediately after the water has finished a Reboil cycle.

LOCK MODE
Press the LOCK button to activate Lock Mode; the LOCK indicator light will turn on.
Lock Mode deactivates and locks both the manual DISPENSE button and the REBOIL button. In Lock Mode, the KEEP WARM and REBOIL indicator lights turn off.
To deactivate Lock Mode, simply press the LOCK button again. This reactivates the manual DISPENSE button and the REBOIL button.
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 rotate 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.
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. It will not automatically shut off and the function indicator lights will not turn on or off.
SPECIAL FEATURE: OVERHEAT PROTECTION
The overheat protection feature operates when the power cable is plugged in but the inner pot is empty of water. If the hot water pot has shut off automatically, unplug the power cable from the electrical socket and wait for the pot to cool, and then add water.
WHEN NOT IN USE
When finished using the hot water pot, turn off the On/Off switch and unplug it from the socket. To detach the lid, open it, and then use your thumbs to 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 result in unpleasant odours and an accumulation of mineral deposits.
WARNING: To avoid serious burns, always detach the lid before pouring out hot water. Do not allow water to splash onto the operation panel, hinge, handle, or power supply plug.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug the hot water pot and allow it to cool completely. Remove the power cable before cleaning and be sure that the appliance’s socket is kept dry.
2. Wipe the hot water pot’s exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Do NOT use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the inside or outside of the hot water pot.
4. Do NOT immerse the appliance in water.
5. Clean the inner pot with 475 mL water and 235 mL vinegar. Press REBOIL to boil the water/vinegar combination. Then pour out and rinse with fresh water.
   NOTE: It is best to use filtered, non-tap water for cleaning.
