To learn about the Chefman Electric Hot Water Pot before getting started, read this entire User Guide. FUN FACTS · As you chew, hot food cools increasing taste intensity. The taste receptors on our tongue are most active with foods at 86°-95°F. · Black and herbal teas are best made with water that's just under a boil, which is about 210°F. · To achieve the best results for recipes that call for boiled water, it's best to boil then measure the water. One cup of water can lose up to an ounce, on average, from being boiled and evaporating.

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used: 1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. 2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS 1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance. 2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet. 3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet. 4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and the power cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative or contact Chefman Customer Service for assistance. 5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break. DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY. RJ16-LOCK SERIES 2 FEATURES 1 2 3 4 5 6 1. Carrying Handle 2. Spout 3.

Using anything other than water (soup, milk, tea, coffee) will cause bubbles resulting in hot liquid spilling out from the appliance and potentially causing burns. Using non-water liquids will cause the pump to cease working and prevent the flow of water. The inner pot could erode as well. HOW TO USE 1. Before using your Chefman Hot Water Pot for the first time, boil and discard one full pot of water by following the instructions below. You may notice a plastic smell for the first time when you use the dispenser. This is normal and will fade over time. 2. Fill the Hot Water Pot by pouring cold water from another container such as a jug. WARNING: Do not fill the pot directly from the tap, as over-flowing water could cause a short circuit or electric shock. 3. Do not add water above the FULL WATER line on the inside of the pot. Hot water may overflow, causing burns. 4. Be careful not to splash water on the control panel or on the outside of the Hot Water Pot. Splashing water can damage the Hot Water Pot and cause an electric shock. 5. Carefully close the lid by pushing down until you hear it click in place. 6.
