physical shock. Doing so can cause the product to
malfunction or cause a fire.
(4) Dispose of all packaging materials once unit has
been removed from its original box, especially the
plastic bag. Do not leave it within reach of children.
This is important to prevent suffocation.
(5) Keep the power plug out of the electrical outlet
when the product is not in use. Keeping it plugged
in could cause electric shock or a fire due to electric
leakage.

(8) Dispensing sake too frequently will gradually lower
the temperature of sake being dispensed. Always
monitor frequency of use and the temperature of
dispensed sake.
(9) Be careful of the water level meter for the warm-
ing tank. Sake warming performance will fall if the
water level meter indicates a level below normal,
causing sake to be too hot and shortening the us-
age life of the product.
(10) Be careful of the temperature of the machine dur-
ing use because it becomes hot. Also take care
not to burn yourself with hot sake (or water) from
the nozzle during dispensing.
(11) When use is done for the day, always empty remai-
ning sake from the unit. If the unit is not emptied
of sake after use, the sake will change color and be-
come unfit for consumption. Follow proper clean-
ing protocol at the end of every day.
(12) Change the water in the warming tank at least twice
a month. Not changing the water can cause perman-
ent internal damage to the tank.
(13) Do not change water tank immediately after use. If
changing water after use is absolutely necessary,
wait for the water to cool before changing. As an
alternative, change the water before use at the beg-
inning of the day.
(14) Abnormal electrical shock, whether man-made or
natural, can permanently damage the unit.
If lightening is heard, disconnect the power cord.
(15) If there is any noticeably abnormal odor coming
from the unit, discontinue using and contact either
CP Solutions (Asia) Co., Ltd. or your local dealer for
service.
Purpose of Use
This product is to be used for warming Japanese sake.
Do not use it for any other purpose.

-5-
This product uses an indirect heating concept, similar
to the traditional method of heating sake. The warming
tank has a single heat exchange pipe through which sake
passes. When the warming tank is filled with water, this
water is directly heated. This heat then transfers to the
piping, which then heats the sake flowing through it.
This method of heating sake ensures that it is not over-
heated or burned.

Instructions for Use
*Follow all instructions in the "Installation and Preparation Before Use" section before continuing onto this section.
Preparations
1. Insert the power plug into an electrical outlet.
2. Check the water level meter pipe to ensure that it is held properly in
its upright position by the two clamps.
3. Fill the internal water tank with water to the optimal level using the
included funnel. If the water level is not at the optimal level, the sake
will not heat properly. Note the following:
-The sake warming tank has a capacity of about 2.3 liters
-If the warming tank is filled beyond the 2.3L capacity, it will overflow
through the water overflow valve.
4. Adjust the server bottle tray to the appropriate height (Figure 2).
Once adjusted, be sure the dispensing nozzle is in the non-dispense
position (outwards).
Note-The serving bottle should have the dispensing nozzle at least
2cm deep for optimal filling (Figure 3).

6. Turn on the power and turn the temperature knob to the desired tem-
perature (Figure 6).
-The Heater Lamp will turn on when the heater is heating the
warming tank water. Once the set temperature is reached, the
lamp will turn off.
-When using the unit for the first time or immediately after
cleaning, the first batch of dispensed sake may be mixed with
the cleaning water. Discard a small amount of sake before
serving sake to customers.
-Keep in mind that ambient temperature and repeated use over
a short period of time may have an impact on the dispensed
sake's temperature.
Sake dispensing method
1. When the heater lamp turns off, insert the nozzle into your server
bottle, and push the bottle into place on the tray. (Figure 7- )
The sake dispensing lamp will turn on and sake will begin to dispense
from the nozzle.
- If sake is dispensed while the heater lamp is on, the sake may not be
at the appropriate temperature.
2. When the sake dispensing lamp turns off, it indicates that the server
bottle is filled with sake. Take the bottle out from the tray by
pulling the nozzle the nozzle outwards (Figure 7- )
- Do not to forget to put the nozzle in the “off” position (i.e. outwards).
Otherwise it will not be possible to put it into the “on” position
(i.e. downwards) to dispense sake.
- Be careful when removing the filled bottle of sake as it will be hot.

*NOTE*
- Be very careful not to burn yourself as the sake can be very hot depending on the temperature setting.
- At the beginning of each operating session, dispense a small 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 large amounts 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.
- Sensors on the tip of the nozzle must touch sake in order to automatically stop dispensing. Make sure
the nozzle is at least 2cm into the bottle.

Pour hot water (about 70 C) into the bottle holder from a kettle, for
example, and clean the inside the bottle holder (Figure 10).

To clean the inside of the unit, turn the unit on and dispense the
remainder of the cleaning water.
When all cleaning water is completely dispensed, pull the dispen-
sing nozzle into its outwards, non-dispensing position, and turn
the unit off.
4. Clean the dispensing nozzle and its sensors using a soft bristled
toothbrush or similar object. Use only hot water when scrubbing
the nozzle and sensor (Figure 11).
5. Wipe the unit down with a damp cloth. Only use water when cleaning.
Never use harsh chemicals such as paint thinner, benzene, or any other
similar product.
6. When changing the water in the water tank, be sure the unit is suffi-
ciently cooled down. To empty the water tank, remove the water level
indicator pipe from the clamps and SLOWLY lower the pipe (Figure 12)
into a sink or container and BE CAREFUL as the water will forcefully
discharge from the pipe.
-Change the water in the warming tank at least 2 times a month.
