injuries through electric shock.
Do not overfill the pot with liquids. Mind the 'MAX' marking inside the pot.
WARNING
Risk of scalding!
The pot and lid heat up considerably during operation.
Do not touch the hot appliance.
Risk of scalding!
Hot steam coming out when the lid is removed may cause scalding of
hands, arms and face.
Never remove the lid when the appliance is operating.
In order to add liquids, first switch the appliance off and then carefully
remove the lid, using the lid handle.

Preparation of Appliance
1. Remove all accessories from the appliance and fully unwind the power cord
from the winder.
2. Rotate the temperature controller to 'OFF' position.
WARNING!
Due to hygienic reasons, the appliance should be boiled up before first
use.
3. Pour approx. 6 litres of water into the pot.
4. Plug the appliance into a single grounded socket.
5. Boil water at the 'MAX' temperature setting for 5 minutes. Observe instructions
in section 'Heating up Liquids'.
6. Next rotate the temperature controller to 'OFF' position.
7. Disconnect the appliance from the socket (pull the plug out).
8. Wait for the appliance to cool off.
9. To end with, drain the water from the pot to a suitable container via the water
drain tap.
10.Rinse with fresh water and drain it again.
11.Clean the appliance observing indications in section 6.2 'Cleaning'.
Heating up Liquids
1. Rotate the temperature controller to 'OFF' position.
2. Before filling the pot with a liquid, make sure the drain tap is closed.
3. Pour the liquid to the mulled wine pot / water pot. Mind the 'MIN' and 'MAX'
markings inside the pot.

Non-drinkable liquids, such as acids, lyes, oils, nitrates, etc. pose hazard
to health.
Before switching the appliance on, always fill the appliance with drinkable liquid.
4. Before switching on, always put the lid on and leave it on the pot during heating
up.
5. Plug the appliance into a suitable single socket.
6. Use the temperature controller to steplessly set the temperature in the range of
30°C –90°C –MAX.

Installation and operation
14 / 22 200049
EN
7. Rotate the temperature controller clockwise
to the selected temperature setting.
The red heating-up indicator light is on during
the heating-up phase.
NOTE!
The heating-up time is conditioned by the
liquid and its amount.
When the set temperature is reached, the
thermostat automatically switches off, and the
red heating up indicator light goes off.
Fig. 2
When the liquid temperature drops, the thermostat switches on again and keeps the
liquid warm at the set temperature for a longer period.
8. If the temperature of 100°C is needed, you may rotate the temperature
controller clockwise until it reaches the right-most 'MAX' position.
WARNING!
When this temperature is reached, the water boils constantly, i.e. the
thermostat does not switch off automatically.
Dispensing Liquids
1. In order to dispense liquid from the pot,
place a suitable container (e.g., a mug,
glass, cup, etc.) under the drain tap.
2. Press the drain tap lever down and hold it
pressed until the right amount of liquid is
dispensed.
3. After the dispensing process, release the
drain tap lever, and it is going to close
automatically.
Fig. 3

Switching the Appliance Off / Emptying the Pot
1. If the appliance is not used, rotate the temperature controller to 'OFF' position.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the socket (pull the plug out).
3. Leave the appliance and the liquid to cool off.
4. Use the drain tap to empty the pot by dispensing the liquid into a suitable
container.
Preserving foodstuffs
The appliance may also be used for preserving suitable foodstuffs in jars. A
maximum of fourteen (14) 1-litre jars with diameter of 11.5 cm may be arranged on
two levels in the pot.
1. Make sure the temperature controller is set in 'OFF' position and the appliance
is disconnected from the electric mains supply.
2. Prepare jars with contents for bottling. Before putting them into the jar, close
them tightly.
3. Put the enclosed grate at the bottom of the pot.
It serves the purpose of an improved circulation of boiling water under and between
jars, thus its faster heating up.
ATTENTION!
Use the enclosed grate only. Galvanized mesh or bar inserts are not
suitable and may cause the appliance to malfunction due to lack of
circulation under such inserts.
4. Place jars on the grate.
5. Pour water into the pot; make sure jars at the top level are covered in water up
to approx. 3/4 of their height.
The water temperature should more less equal the temperature of jars' contents.
This saves time and energy.
NOTE!
When preserving jars arranged on two levels, make sure the bottom level
jars are closed tightly, so that water does not enter them.
6. Place the lid on the pot.

Installation and operation
16 / 22 200049

Setting Preserving Temperature
1. Set the temperature according to the bottled food product. Check the
temperature and time of preserving in the below tables or in respective bottling
recipes.
2. Plug the appliance into a suitable single socket.
3. If the temperature of 100°C is required for bottling, rotate the temperature
controller to 'MAX' position.
NOTE!
Remember, that heating up time to reach the set temperature is not a
period of total preserving time. When preserving at the temperature of 30–
90°C the preserving time starts when the red indicator light goes off for
the first time, and at the 'MAX' setting, when water starts to boil.
