Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SE INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRIC CORD
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, observe the following:
- The extension cord must be rated at no less than 15 Amps, 120 Volts.
- The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE HOT WATER DISPENSER IN WATER. IMPORTANT: After continual use, a lime deposit may accumulate in the heating chamber causing longer heating cycles.

- When not in use, the electric cord should be coiled and stored in the area provided in the hollow base of the hot water dispenser.
- Route the cord through the “T” slot in the back of the housing to prevent the unit from resting on the cord during operation.
- Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary.
