• Electrical Safety: Ensure the dispenser is plugged into a grounded outlet. Do not use extension cords. Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.
• Hot Water Safety: The hot water dispenser reaches high temperatures. Use caution when dispensing hot water. The unit is equipped with a child safety lock for the hot water spout.
• Placement: Place the dispenser on a firm, level surface. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
