1. Setup

Carefully remove all packaging materials from the dispenser. Ensure all components are present: the main unit, water reservoir, and drip tray. Retain packaging for future transport or storage if needed.
1.2 Placement
Place the dispenser on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit. Do not place it near the edge of a countertop where it could be easily knocked over.

1.4 Initial Use
Before first use, it is recommended to run a full cycle of hot water without any beverage to clean the internal components. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Place a large heat-resistant container under the dispenser spout. Select the highest temperature and maximum volume setting, then dispense. Discard this water. Repeat if desired.

3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures hygiene and extends the life of your dispenser. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. The drip tray can be removed and washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reattaching.
3.2 Self-Cleaning Function
The dispenser features an integrated self-cleaning function. Refer to the display for the Clean icon. Follow the on-screen prompts to initiate the cleaning cycle. This function helps to flush out internal components.
3.3 Descaling
Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up, especially in hard water areas. The display may show a "Descaling" or "Calc" indicator. To descale, use a descaling solution specifically designed for hot water appliances, following the product's instructions. Alternatively, a mixture of white vinegar and water can be used (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water). Fill the reservoir with the descaling solution, run a full cycle, then rinse by running several cycles with fresh water.
4. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water dispensed. | Water reservoir empty or not properly seated. | Fill the water reservoir. Ensure it is securely placed. |
| Water not hot enough. | Incorrect temperature setting. Limescale buildup. | Check temperature setting. Perform descaling. |
| "Descaling" or "Calc" indicator on. | Limescale buildup detected. | Perform a descaling cycle as per maintenance instructions. |
| Unit not powering on. | Not plugged in. Power outlet issue. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Test outlet with another appliance. |
