HINTS & TIPS
• When you press the stop button during the dispensing process, the water will
continue to run for a few more seconds. Keep this in mind so your cup doesn’t
overflow!

After 5 consecutive cups you will need to allow the unit to cool for 10 minutes.

Knob clockwise (before pressing Start Button) The reduce amount of water
dispensed, turn it anti-clockwise

taste tainted.

unit is not to be used for an extended period

LIME SCALE
When you heat tap water, calcium and other mineral deposits attach themselves to
the inside of your kettle, iron, washing machine etc.
Excessive lime scale build up will damage your Water Dispenser.
We recommend using pre-filtered or bottled water. If you cannot do this and use
water straight from the tap then it will be necessary to descale the product regularly.
There are plenty of good, inexpensive lime scale remedies available - including from
Swan website. Just follow the instructions on the packet or call our help line for
assistance.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Always switch off and unplug the appliance and allow it to completely cool before
cleaning. The outside can be wiped down with a soft cloth moistened with mild
detergent solution, then dried with kitchen towel.
The inside of the tank just needs to be rinsed out with clean water - especially if the
Water Dispenser hasn’t been used for a few days. Don’t use chemical or abrasive
cleaners.
