Identifying the Parts

Using Your HotCup™ Water Dispenser

Before using your HotCup™ water dispenser for the first time

•

Remove your HotCup™ water dispenser carefully from the box. Remove any

packaging and promotional material and position your HotCup™ water dispenser on

a dry, level, secure work surface away from the edge.

•

Follow the instructions below on using your HotCup™ water dispenser and discard

the first five measures of boiling water (i.e. the first full tank of water). This will

remove any residues that may remain from the manufacturing process.

Using your HotCup™ water dispenser

Always position your HotCup™ water dispenser in such a way that the start

button cannot be accidentally operated, especially by children. As you use your

HotCup™ water dispenser, a certain portion of the water boiled will be transferred

back to the water reservoir. This will mean the water reservoir may become hot.

Always use care when handling your HotCup™ water dispenser.

Press the lid release button.

Fill the water reservoir from your cold tap. The water level should be between the

MIN and MAX markings.

Close the lid and press the stop button. This will make sure that your HotCup™ water

dispenser will not immediately start a boil cycle when you place it onto the power

base.

Connect your HotCup™ water dispenser

to a mains supply socket.

Place a suitable cup or container with a tea bag, coffee, sugar, etc. below the

dispensing nozzle. Never operate your HotCup™ water dispenser without a cup or

suitable container placed below the dispensing nozzle. Adjust the dispensing control

to the required setting. The control adjusts the quantity of boiling water dispensed

by your HotCup™ water dispenser. For smaller cups like teacups, set the control

towards the setting; for larger cups like coffee mugs, set the control towards the

setting. If you are not sure which setting to use, it’s best to use a lower setting until

you gain experience using your HotCup™ water dispenser.

Press the start button. The water tank will light up and your HotCup™ water

dispenser will start to boil.

The selected quantity of boiling water will be dispensed into the cup. Your HotCup™

water dispenser

is now ready to use again. If, after just having boiled, the start button

doesn’t stay in the down position, simply wait a few seconds before trying it again.

Stopping your HotCup™ water dispenser

If you have started the boil procedure and then decide you want to stop your HotCup™

water dispenser for any reason, simply press the stop button. You can also stop water

that is being dispensed by pressing the stop button. The boiled water will be safely

transferred back into the water reservoir.

Cleaning

Always switch off and unplug your HotCup™ water dispenser and allow it to

completely cool before cleaning. Never immerse the base unit, power cord or

plug in water or any other liquid. Do not use harsh abrasives, chemicals or oven

cleaners.

Emptying your HotCup™ water dispenser

After your HotCup™ water dispenser has completely cooled down, unplug it from the

mains supply socket.

Press the lid release button.

Hold your HotCup™ water dispenser over a sink and pour the water out.

Still holding your HotCup™ water dispenser over the sink, turn it the right way up

and allow any water to drain out of the dispensing nozzle. If no water drains out of

the nozzle, it may be because the stop button has been accidentally or intentionally

pressed. Press the start button to allow water to drain from the nozzle.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the water has been emptied from your HotCup™ water

dispenser.

If your HotCup™ water dispenser will not be used for an extended period (e.g. if you are

on holiday), we recommend that you first empty it. Before using your HotCup™ water

dispenser again, carry out several boil cycles discarding the water each time.

Cleaning

Clean the exterior surface of your HotCup™ water dispenser with a damp cloth and then

polish it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/abrasive cleaners.

safety and efficiency

To ensure the safe and efficient operation of your HotCup™ water dispenser it is

important to descale it regularly. The harder your water the more regularly it will need

doing. Your water company should be able to tell you how hard the water is in your

area. Untreated scale deposits prevent the element conducting heat efficiently therefore

wasting electricity. Scale can also cause your HotCup™ water dispenser to malfunction or

even cause premature failure.

Descaling using a proprietary descaling product

Fill your HotCup™ water dispenser to the MAX fill level and place an empty cup on

the drip tray. Press the start button and wait for the water to be dispensed into the

cup.

Add a citric acid-based proprietary descaling product to the hot water in the cup and

stir.

Tip the contents of the cup into your HotCup™ water dispenser and close the lid.

Place the empty cup on the drip tray and press the start button.

Wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.

Discard the water from the cup.

Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until the water level is at the MIN mark. Open the lid and

empty any remaining water into the sink. Rinse your HotCup™ water dispenser by

filling it with clean water and emptying it into the sink (see

Emptying your HotCup™

water dispenser

on page 8).

Fill your HotCup™ water dispenser with fresh water to the MAX fill level and place an

empty cup on the drip tray.

8. Pres the start button and wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.

9. Discard the water in the cup. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until the water level is at the MIN

mark. Open the lid and empty any remaining water into the sink.

Descaling using vinegar or citric acid

1. You can use ordinary vinegar (white or malt) or citric acid to descale your HotCup™

water dispenser. Inexpensive, ordinary vinegar can be purchased in large bottles

from any supermarket. Citric acid can be bought from pharmacies, home brewing/

winemaking suppliers or on-line retailers.

2. If you are using vinegar, make up a solution of 1 cup of vinegar to 1 cup of water. If

you are using citric acid, mix 30g of the citric acid with 500ml of water.

3. Pour the solution into the tank, close the lid and allow it to stand for 1 hour.

4. Cycle your HotCup™ water dispenser (as described in steps 4-6 above) until the

level is at the MIN mark. Open the lid and empty any remaining solution into the sink.

Rinse your HotCup™ water dispenser several times by filling it with clean water and

emptying it into the sink.

5. Fill your HotCup™ water dispenser with fresh water to the MAX fill level and place an

empty cup on the drip tray.

6. Press the start button and wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.

7. Discard the water in the cup. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the water level is at the MIN

mark. Open the lid and empty any remaining water into the sink.

8. Finally, rinse your HotCup™ water dispenser several times with clean water.
