This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
WARNING: When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the
following:
1. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or power head in water or
any other liquid.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
3. Do not leave appliance unattended while in use.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after appliance malfunctions or
has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
6. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire,
electrical shock or injury to persons.
7. Do not use for commercial purposes.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces including stove.
9. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
10. Do not attempt to repair this appliance. It may cause fire, electric shock or other bodily harm.
Call 888-315-8407 for repair related questions and replacements.
11. When filling this appliance with water, the water should not be filled higher than the "MAX"
or "FILL" line indicated on the inner container/pot.
12. Do not transport this appliance when water is in the tank. Although the tank has a locking feature, hot
water may still leak out from the water inlet or steam may escape through vents.
13. Do not cover the steam vents.
14. Do not refill water during a boiling cycle or right after a boiling cycle. Hot water may splash resulting in
serious burns.
15. When unit is not in use ensure that it is unplugged from outlet.
16. Do not stand over the appliance when opening the lid. Hot steam will rise and may cause serious burns.
17. This appliance is intended for water only. Using anything other than water (e.g. soup, milk, tea, and
coffee) will cause bubbles resulting in hot liquid spilling from the appliance potentially causing
burns. In addition, this will cause the pump to cease working and prevent the flow of water. The
inner pot will erode as well.
18. To avoid potential damage to property, do not place the CHEFMAN Hot Water Pot underneath
cabinets or other objects. Steam may cause damage or discoloration to objects placed above the unit
while in operation.
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary
household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd)
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. 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 cord set or extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
LINE 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 line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any
are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord
replaced. Please return it to an authorized service representative.
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 LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR
IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to
properly grounded outlets only.
IMPORTANT
During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight
odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance
has been used a few more times.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

HOW TO USE
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 smell of
plastic for the first time when you use the dispenser.
This is normal and will fade over time.
• Fill the Hot Water Pot by pouring cold water from
another container such as a jug. WARNING: Do not fill
the container directly from the tap, as over-flowing
water could cause a short circuit or electric shock.
• Do not add water above the MAX FILL line on the inside
of the container. Hot water may overflow, causing burns.
• 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.
• Carefully close the lid by pushing down until you hear it
click in place. (Fig 1)
When you plug in the power cord, the water will automatically begin to boil.

CONDITION CAUSE SOLUTION
Water does not boil. Plug is not plugged into electrical outlet. Check the plug connections.
Metal object or dirt is on the tip of the magnetic plug. Clean the tip of the magnetic plug.
Water does not become
hot or does not pour
properly.
Plug is not plugged into elecrical outlet. Check the plug connections.
Mineral deposits or the like have accumulated on the inside of the pot. Clean the Hot Water Pot.
Hot water may not pour properly a few minutes after boiling. Open the lid once to release air bubbles, and
close lid. Warning: Watch out for steam when
opening the lid.
Water pours out by itself. Check that the pot is not filled beyond the Max Fill guide mark. Pour out the excess amount of water until it is
below the Max Fill line.
White deposits appear in
the hot water. Deposits are forced by the mineral content of the water you are using.
They are not due to corrosion of the inner container or peeling of the
non- stick fluorine coating. Clean the inside of the water pot by boiling
water mixed with vinegar or lemon extract.
Loud boiling sounds can
be heard. Excessive accumulation of mineral deposits and the like on the inside
of the water pot can cause loud boiling sounds.
Hot water has a bad
odor.
The odor of chlorine may be detectable in your tap water.
A mild plastic odor may be noticeable in a new dispenser. This odor will fade over time.
