3. Plug the power base cord into a 120V or 220V AG wall outlet. The unit
will emit an audible signal; the display screen will flash 'C' twice and
display the current water temperature in Celsius.
4. Automatic shutdown:In the standby state, the device will shut down
all displays if there is no operation within three minutes.
5. Heat preservation time:The time limit of heat preservation is two
hours;
6. Temperature selection:
1.The range of heating temperature selection is 40-100°C.
2.The range of heat preservation temperature is 40-90°C.
7. Heating:
1.While switching on, if water temperature is greater than set tempera-
ture, the device will stop heating and automatically enter the heat
preservation state.
2.If water temperature rises to set temperature, the device will stop
heating and automatically enter the heat preservation state.

11.Power-on display:
When the power is on, the nixie tube is fully bright for around 0.5 second
and the device enters the standby state.
12.Temperature display:
1.The device displays real-time water temperature in standby/heating state;
2.When temperature selection/or operation begins, light always-on displays
set temperature for about one second, but the device will display current
temperature without any operation while the light flickers again for about 1.5
seconds;
When the power is on, the default temperature target is 100°C or the
temperature target during the operation in the previous time.

will start timing of heat preservation;
2.During heat preservation, the error between display temperature and
actual temperature is required to be controlled within ±5°C;
3.When (set temperature - 10) ≤ water temperature ≤ (set temperature - 2),
the device will launch adjustable power heating (if the highest temperature
is 1°C higher than set temperature during the previous heat preservation,
the adjustable power ratio is 3/35; in other cases, the ratio is 4/25); When
water temperature > (set temperature - 10), the adjustable power ratio is
8/25.
9. Mode selection:
Button “ ”: Heat water to set temperature and automatically enter the heat
preservation state;
