SafetyPrecautions
WARNING
The following 11 items concern the possibility of the
user's death or serious injuries if the user operates
the product without observing the warnings or in the
wrong way.
(1) Install the product at a horizontal, stable place,
and be sure to secure it with the fixing angle (an
accessory).
(2) Never disassemble, repair, or modify the product
unless you are a repair mechanic. Otherwise,
there is a possibility of fire or abnormal operation.
(3) Be sure to ground the product
・If your electrical outlet has no grounding termi-
nal, ask your electrical appliances store to have
it attached to the outlet. Improper grounding
could cause electric shock.
・Do not connect the grounding wire to a gas
pipe or water pipe.
(4) Do not dip the product in water, or expose it to
water. There is a possibility of a shortcircuit or
electric shock.
(5) Periodically check that the power plug blades and
their surfaces are free of dust, and insert the plug
into an electrical outlet all the way so it will not be
loose. Dust on the power plug or its imperfect
connection could cause electric shock or fire.
(6) Keep the power cord free of damage. Binding the
power cord, placing a heavy object on it, or pinch-
ing it may damage the cord, possibly causing
electric shock or fire.
Keep the power cord away from a heat source.
(7) Do not use the product outdoors.
Use of the product at a place exposed to rains
could cause electric leak or shock.
(8) If you wish to dispose of the product as waste,
ask an official organization or your dealer to do
so. (You may be charged for its disposal.)
Abandoning the product could cause an accident
from its modification or use for other than the pur-
pose of sake warming by a third party.
(9) Be sure to use an electrical outlet of the rating
of AC110-120V 15A or AC220-240V 7.5A (mini-
mum). Do not use a double socket or a branched
socket to avoid overheat or fire.
(10) If you intentionally bend the power plug blades to
make the plug tight in an electrical outlet, it could
cause a fire due to faulty contact.
(11) Do not leave the product to be used by children
alone. Do not use it within reach of infants. This is
important to avoid burns, electric shock, and
injuries.
CAUTION
The following items (1) to (14) concern the possibility
of injuries to the user or material damage if the user
operates the product without observing the cautions
indicated therein.
(1) When you pull out the power plug, be sure to hold
the plug itself, not the cord. Pulling out the plug
by the cord could cause electric shock, shortcir-
cuit, or fire.
(2) Do not touch or use the power plug, power
switch, or other electric parts with a wet hand. It
could cause electric shock.
(3) Do not drop the product, or subject it to strong
shock. It could cause trouble or fire.
(4) Dispose of the packing plastic bag as soon as
you have taken the product out of it. Do not leave
it within reach of children. This is important to
prevent suffocation.
(5) Keep the power plug out of your electrical outlet
when the product is not in use. Keeping it
plugged in could cause electric shock or a fire
due to electric leakage.
(6) Do not use the product if the power cord plug is
damaged, or is loose in the electrical outlet.
Otherwise, there is a possibility of a shortcircuit or
electric shock or fire.
(7) Do not use the product for other than Japanese
sake. Otherwise, the product could fail due to a
burn or corrosion, for example.
・Carefully read the Safety Precautions to correctly use the product.
・The Safety Precautions are for you to use the product safely and correctly, and to prevent danger and dam-
age to you and others. The Safety Precautions are shown in two categories, Warning and Caution, to clearly
show the degree of danger and damage which could be caused by wrong handling. Be sure to observe them
all, which include important information on safety.
・Keep the Safety Precautions ready for reference after reading them.

(8) Be careful of changes in sake warming tempera-
ture, which is subject to change depending on
sampling frequency and sake temperature.
Continual sampling will gradually lower sake
warming temperature.
(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 your sake to be too hot or the product to
shorten its life.
(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) Discharge remaining sake from the machine after
use. If sake remains in the machine after use, it
changes in color. Discharge sake and clean the
machine inside.
(12) Change the water in the warming tank about
once a month. If the water is kept used for long
without changing it, the water could develop fur,
which would be unsanitary, machine performance
might be adversely affected, or it would become
difficult to watch the water level meter. Changing
the water in the tank immediately after use is
dangerous because the hot water will be dis-
charged from it. Be sure to wait for the machine
to cool before changing the water.
(13) Lightning, direct or induced, could break down
the machine with an abnormal current or voltage
through the power line. If a thunder is heard, pull
out the power plug from the electrical outlet.
(14) If you notice a foul odor from the machine, simply
pull out the power plug and ask your dealer or
Taiji for after-sale service.
Purpose of Use
This product is a sake (Japanese sake) warmer for indoor use which will warm sake to your desired temperature
for best appreciating it. Do not use the product for any other purposes.

-5-
The product is an indirect heating type electric sake
warmer in which the water in the warming tank is

Instructions for Use
* Read [Inspection and Installation Before Use], page 6, and install
the machine properly before using it.
Preparations
1. Insert the power plug into an electrical outlet.
2. Check the water level meter pipe that it is fixed.
3. Check the water level meter for the level of water in the sake warm-
ing tank. If there is not enough water, or no water at all, remove the
cap from the water level pipe, insert the accessory funnel into the
pipe, and pour water into it till the water reaches the normal level of
the water level meter (Figure 1). After filling the tank with water, put
the cap back on the pipe.
•The sake warming tank has a water capacity of about 2.3 liters.
•When filling the tank, pour water little by little because too much
water into the funnel all at once may cause overflow.
•If water is supplied above the upper limit of the water level
meter, the water will overflow. Make sure that water is up to the
normal level.
4. Adjust the server bottle tray to the height of the server bottles to be
used (Figure 2). After adjusting it, pull the nozzle toward yourself.
•The server bottle tray is at the right height if the tip of the nozzle
drops about 2 cm into the server bottle (Figure 3).
∗The illustrated machine differs in some specifi-
cations.

5. Remove the cap from the sake tank and fill it with sake (Figure 4)
until sake level is somewhere between the minimum (0.5 liter) and
the maximum (3.6 liters).
•Check the sake drain cock that it is closed (as shown in the fig-
ure below) before filling the tank with sake. Unless the sake
drain cock is closed, sake will run out of the cock.
•The capacity indicators in liters on the sake tank are approxi-
mate.
•After filling the tank with sake, be sure to put the cap back on.

6. Switch power on and turn the temperature knob to your desired
temperature position. (Figure 6)
•One graduation corresponds to about 4°C.
•If a temperature higher than the sake warming tank is set, the
heater lamp lights, indicating that the heater begins to heat. The
heater lamp goes out when the temperature reaches the set
level.
•If you are using the machine for the first time, it may take time
before sake is ready to be dispensed. Or, after cleaning the
machine inside, remaining water may be discharged with sake.
It is recommended, therefore, that you dispense a small quanti-
ty of sake, partly for checking the temperature.
•Remember that, if you are dispensing sake continually or if you
using the machine in winter, you may find the sake temperature
lower than desired.
Sake dispensing method
1. When the heater lamp goes out, insert the nozzle into your server
bottle, and push the bottle into place on the tray. (Figure 7-q)
The sake dispensing lamp lights and sake begins to run out of the
nozzle.
•If you dispense sake while the heater lamp is on, you may be
unable to dispense sake at your desired temperature. If the
heater lamp lights while you are dispensing sake, wait for the
heater lamp to go out before filling your next server bottle.
2. When the sake dispensing lamp goes out, it indicates that the serv-
er bottle is filled with sake. Take the bottle out from the tray by
pulling the nozzle toward yourself. (Figure 7-w)
•Remember that, unless the nozzle is pulled, you won't be
•Be careful of a hot server bottle.
Sake discharging method
∗This product is so designed that you can discharge sake from the
sake tank through the sake drain cock.
qSake is discharged from the sake tank as long as the sake drain
cock is kept depressed (as shown in Figure 8-q).
•In this case, sake is discharged from the sake tank or else-
where in the machine through the drain cock, and may vary in
temperature depending on the duration of use of the machine,
the remaining quantity of sake, set temperature, etc.
wThe sake drain cock can be locked (as shown in Figure 8-w) to
keep dispensing sake from the sake tank until it is unlocked.
•Be sure to return the cock to the closed position (Figure 5).
•In this case, sake is discharged from the sake tank or else-
where in the machine through the drain cock, and may vary in
temperature depending on the duration of use of the machine,
the remaining quantity of sake, set temperature, etc.

After Use
1. Discharge sake from the machine.
(1) Have a container ready, and discharge the sake out of the sake
tank through the sake drain cock into the container. When the
sake tank is empty, return the sake drain cock to the closed
position. (See the sake discharging method on page 8.
(2) Push the nozzle to discharge all the remaining sake out of the
tank. When the tank is empty, pull the nozzle toward yourself
and switch power off. (You may use the sake discharged from
the machine for cooking purposes, etc.)
2. Remove the removable parts and clean them. Place the cleaned
parts back into place. (Figure 9)
3. Clean the sake tank and inside the machine.
(1) Pour hot water (about 70°C) into the sake tank from a kettle, for
example, and clean the sake tank inside. (Figure 10)
•Check that the sake drain cock is in the closed position
(Figure 5, page 7, then before pouring hot water into the
sake tank.
•Be careful when pouring hot water.
(2)Discharge about a half of the hot water from inside through the
sake drain cock into a vessel, for example.
(3)Switch power on, push the nozzle in to discharge the hot water
in a vessel, for example, and clean the tank inside.
(4)Pull the nozzle toward yourself, put the cap back on the tank,
and switch power off.
4. A dirty nozzle may cause a malfunction. Clean the nozzle with a
toothbrush, for example, dipped in hot water.
5. Wipe the machine with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth dipped in
water and squeezed tight. If the nozzle is very dirty, wipe it with a
soft cloth dipped in a solution of neutral kitchen detergent and
squeezed tight. Do not use paint thinner, benzine, or other sol-
vents.
6. Before discharging hot water from the tank, make sure that the
machine is cool and that the water level pipe is removed from the
water level meter clamps, and is pulled toward yourself. Exercise
care because the hot water will shoot out of the tip of the water
level meter. (Figure 12) When all the hot water is discharged, return
the pipe to its original position and put the cap back on it.
•Change the water in the sake warming tank about once a
month.
