Maintaining Water Levels
It is important to regularly check the water level in the tank.
•
Always keep the water level above the 'MIN' mark on the inside of the tank during operation.
•
Damage to the heating element can occur if the tank boils dry and the element may have to be
replaced. This is not covered by the BUFFALO warranty.

cool-down period:
1. Unscrew the reset switch cover.
