There is a safety thermal cut-out device fitted to
the unit. If the unit is allowed to boil dry this will
operate and prevent further use. Switch the unit off
and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes, refill with
water and then switch on again - the thermal cut-out
should automatically re-set. If this has not re-set
allow a further cooling period.
When you have finished using the unit allow any
remaining water to cool and then empty the unit. We
recommend flushing the tank out with clean water
before storing. NEVER LEAVE WATER IN THE UNIT
WHILE BEING STORED.
Filler Cap
To fit - screw onto the filler neck hand-tight. Do not
over-tighten.
To remove - ensure unit is switched off and has
stopped boiling. Wait for 5 minutes. Slowly unscrew
the cap, any remaining trapped steam will be
released from beneath the cap.
CAUTION! Steam is very hot - wear a
glove and keep face clear. Refill to the
level indicator as before and follow above
instructions.
