WARNINGS

• ⚠️ Do not use a power source other than 220-230V (CD-JUQ30) or 220V (CD-JUH30C) AC. Use of any other power supply voltage may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not modify the product. Only a repair technician may disassemble or repair this unit. Attempting to do so may cause fire, electric shock or injury. Make any repair inquiries to the store you purchased the product.
• Do not plug or unplug the Power Cord if your hands are wet. Doing so may cause electric shock or injury.
• Do not touch the steam vent or bring your hands or face near the steam vent. Doing so may cause burns or scalding. Take special precautions with children and infants.
• Do not cover the Steam Vent with anything such as a dishcloth. Hot water may spill out, resulting in scalds. It may also cause deformation or discoloration of the Upper Lid or breakdown of the product.
• Do not allow children to use the product unsupervised. Keep it out of the reach of infants. Children are at risk of burns, electric shock or injury.
• Do not fill over the Maximum Water Level Line. Overfilling may cause hot water to spill out, resulting in scalds.
• Always remove the Upper Lid before disposing hot water. The Upper Lid may fall off and cause hot water to splash, resulting in scalds.
• Do not tilt or shake the product or carry in your arms. Do not move it or drain hot water by holding the Upper Lid. This may result in scalding by hot water spilling out from the Spout or Steam Vent, even if the Automatic Dispense Lock is on. Always use the handle when carrying.
• Do not tilt the product or tip it over. Hot water may spill from the Spout or Steam Vent, even if the Automatic Dispense Lock is on.
• Do not use the product if the Power Plug or Power Cord is damaged or if the Power Plug is loosely inserted into the electrical outlet. Doing so may cause electric shock, short circuit or fire.
• Close the Upper Lid securely. Hot water may spill out when the product is overturned, resulting in scalds.
• Do not allow liquid to come into contact with the Receptacle or Power Cord. Doing so may cause short circuit or electric shock.
• Do not damage the Power Cord. Do not bend, pull, twist, fold, or attempt to modify the Power Cord. Do not place it on or near high temperature surfaces or appliances, under heavy items or between objects. A damaged Power Cord can cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not use the product as a cooler or place ice inside of it. This may cause condensation, resulting in electric shock or breakdown of the product.
• Do not allow the prongs of the Appliance Plug to become soiled with dust or come into contact with any metal objects. This may cause electric shock, short circuit or fire.
• Do not allow infants or children to put the Appliance Plug in their mouth. Doing so may cause electric shock or injury. Take special precautions with children and infants.
• Insert the Power Plug completely and securely into the electrical outlet. A loosely inserted Power Plug may cause electric shock, short circuit, smoke or fire.
• Use only an electrical outlet rated at 10 amperes minimum, and do not plug other devices into the same outlet. Plugging other devices into the same outlet may cause the electrical outlet to overheat, resulting in fire.
• If the blades or surface of the Power Plug become soiled, wipe them clean. A dirty Power Plug may cause fire.
• Do not immerse the product in water or splash it with water, and do not put it on a wet surface such as a sink. Doing so may cause short circuit or electric shock.
• Do not boil anything other than water. Attempting to boil, cook, or heat up the following items may cause bubbling or boiling over, which may cause scalding. This may also cause clogging of the water route, corrosion of the Inner Container, or peeling of the Nonstick Coating: Milk, sake, soup, charcoal, tea bags or tea leaves; Instant food; Food and sauce pouches or foods in plastic bags.
• Do not slam the Upper Lid when closing. Hot water may dispense or spill out, resulting in scalds.
