above the maximum
water level?
●Reduce the water down
to the maximum water
level or lower. (P. EN10)
Water is dripping
from the bottom of
the body.

turn off the power switch, the steam can condense
and drip from the bottom of the body as water droplets.
This is not malfunction.
The hot water has a
strange smell.
●Depending on the amount of chloride contained in the
water supply, there may be a residual chalky smell.
Shiny white or brown
substances are
floating in the hot
water.
●This is scale.
Scale is more likely to be
generated when using
water with a high mineral
content.
•Mineral water.
•Water from ionic water
purifiers.
●Clean the machine
with a scale remover.
(P. EN12)
Rough milky white
substances are
adhered to parts
inside the body.
The sound of water
boiling has become
very loud.
●The sound grows larger
as scale adheres.
A clicking sound is
heard a short time
after use.
●This sound is made when an internal heat component
cools down.
●This is not malfunction.
The machine is taking
a long time to boil.
●Did you boil with the lid
