Do not connect or disconnect the power plug orthe body plug with wet hands.This may result in electric shock.
Do not allow infants access to the body plug.
Body plug
You must pay special attention to prevent infants from putting the body plug into their mouths.This may result in electric shock or injury.
Do not place small metal parts near the body plug.This may result in electric shock, electrical shoft circuit or fire.
Make sure the power plug is correctly inserted into the wall outlet.lf the plug is inserted improperly it may cause electric shock or generate heat resulting in fire.oDo not use a damaged plug or a connection in a loose outlet.
Clean dust from the power plug or the body plug regularly.A build-up of dust on the plug will attract condensation, which could cause cable damage andthe deterioration of insulation resulting in fire.oRemove the plugs and clean them with a dry cloth.
Use a single outlet that matches the power rating of the unit.Heat generated when plugging in multiple appliances into one outlet may result in fire.
Do not place the unit on unstable surfaces.The appliance may topple over causing burns.

Possible cause
oThe cause of this is scale. (See P.14)It is not flakes of fluororesin.. Water with a large content of minerals in itsuch as mineral water or ionised water, ismore likely to cause a scale or white layerin the hot water.
oWhen scale adhered, boilinq soundsbecome louder.
oOdors of chlorine remain depending onthe amount of chlorine in tao water.
oWhen the unit is new, resin used in manufacture may give off a mild odor.This will disappear with use.olf the unit is placed on surfaces such as a vinvl sheet, the odor mav be carriedover into the water.
oWater has been added above maximumwater level.
oThe mesh filter may be clogged with scale.(See P.14)
oRubber gaskets may be spoiled.
olt is harder to dispense if the keeo-warm temoerature or water level is low.
oThe automatic lock has been engaged.
