Cautions:
Be very careful not to burn yourself as the sake may be quite hot depending on the
temperature setting.
At the beginning of each operating session, pour out a little amount of sake to check
the temperature and to make sure that it does not contain any impurities such as water
left behind from cleaning.
Dispensing a large amount of sake at one time or operating in a cold environment may
lower the temperature of sake being dispensed. Adjust the temperature setting to
compensate for the effects of such circumstances.
