Boil Dry Protection & Manual Reset Button
Boil dry accidents are the result of boiling all the water out of an urn.
These kinds of accidents shorten component and product life in all water-
boiling appliances.
To prevent boil dry accidents, this appliance is equipped with a thermal
limiter with a manual reset button (see the below picture). If the water in
the tank is completely boiled away, the appliance will turn itself off (though
the pilot light will remain on).
To decrease the chance of boil dry accidents, operators are advised to turn the appliance off when not in use, especially overnight.
This appliance must be unplugged before it can be reset.
After unplugging, allow the appliance to cool down. Open the plastic bottom of
the coffee urn and locate the reset switch in the control section. Press this
button, place the plastic bottom back on the urn, plug in the appliance and
switch the urn on.
If the pilot light is on, the unit has recovered to normal working condition.
If the light is still off, unplug the appliance and repeat the process. Repeat
this operation until the urn returns to normal working condition.
The manual reset is intended to protect the user and the coffee urn. In case
of repeat incidents, the metal layering in the urn may damage due to boiling
dry, which may also damage the thermal limiter and heating element beyond
repair.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Unplug the unit and pour out any remaining water or coffee. Allow the unit to cool.
- After the urn has cooled, add hot water, brush the interior sides, and rinse with hot water until water exiting the faucet runs clear.
- Clean the filter unit and the lid with a non-abrasive detergent. Dry both components with a soft, dry cloth.
- The stainless steel inside and tube can be cleaned with detergent and a scouring pad.
- The urn’s tap must also be cleaned to ensure proper cleaning. If necessary, use a de-scaling agent on the tap.
- Clean the urn’s faucet with a bottle brush. Then wash the tap with warm, soapy water and rinse.
- Use a soft cloth to wipe the urn body dry. Do NOT use benzene, thinners, or harsh abrasives for cleaning, as these will damage the exterior finish of the urn.
- Always clean the coffee urn immediately after each use.
De-Scaling
- Scale buildup can affect the urn, tap, and faucet.
- Supermarket de-scaling agents work well, along with a variety of other techniques.
- For a more natural approach, follow these steps.
a. Slice a lemon into four pieces, wrap them in a cloth, and place them in the urn.
b. Pour in water up to the “MAX” water level indicator.
c. Boil the water and allow the lemons to sit inside the unit for about 1 hour.
d. Pour out the water and lemons, and use a nylon brush to scrub the inside of the urn.
e. To completely remove the smell or aftertaste, refill the urn, boil the water again and dispose of the water.
Lime-B-Gone
Lime-B-Gone delimer and descaler make the difficult task of cleaning your
kitchen equipment faster and easier. This acid-based cleaner effectively
eliminates lime and scales the buildup to help make your equipment work better
and last longer.
**** This product cannot be thrown away with other domestic waste. It
requires an authorized electronic recycling center to properly dispose of it.
By recycling this product, you help save natural resources. Make sure this
product is disposed of in a natural manner.
Electrical Circuit Diagram
Thermal Fuse
This coffee urn is fitted with a thermal fuse for added safety. If this
appliance’s boil dry protection measures fail, its thermal fuse will activate
