2. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to the maximum setting (boil). The indicator light will illuminate.
4. Allow the water to boil for approximately 15-20 minutes.
5. Carefully dispense all the hot water through the tap into a sink.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BEEM Samovar.

5.1 Daily Cleaning:

4. Clean the interior of the main boiler with a soft brush or sponge and warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Wipe the exterior of the samovar with a damp cloth and then dry with a soft, clean cloth to maintain its mirror finish.

5.2 Descaling:

Depending on the hardness of your water, limescale deposits may build up over time. Regular descaling is recommended to maintain efficiency.

1. Mix a descaling solution according to the manufacturer's instructions (e.g., citric acid solution or commercial descaler).
2. Pour the solution into the main water boiler up to the MAX mark.
3. Turn on the samovar and allow the solution to heat up, but do not boil. Let it sit for 30-60 minutes, or as recommended by the descaler product.
4. Carefully drain the solution through the tap.
5. Rinse the boiler thoroughly several times with fresh water, boiling and draining clean water at least twice to remove any descaler residue.
