The BUYDEEM K313 Mini K Beverage Maker is a versatile appliance designed for home use, offering a range of functions for preparing various beverages and hot liquids. Its intuitive design and user-friendly interface make it suitable for daily use, while safety features and maintenance guidelines ensure longevity and reliable performance.
Function Description
The beverage maker is primarily used for heating water to specific temperatures or for cooking ingredients over set durations. It features a touch function panel with three main buttons: a power/pause button, a temperature selection button (°C), and a time selection button (min).
- Power/Pause Button: A short touch starts or pauses the beverage maker. A long touch (2 seconds) puts the device into standby mode.
- Temperature Selection (°C): This button allows users to select desired water temperatures: 40°C, 60°C, and 100°C.
- 40°C Mode: Quickly boils water to 40°C, suitable for milk powder and milk. It includes an 8-hour keep warm function at 40°C.
- 60°C Mode: Quickly boils water to 60°C, ideal for honey, lemon, and black wolfberry. It also includes an 8-hour keep warm function at 60°C.
- 100°C Mode: Quickly boils water to boiling point. This mode is specifically for heating water and should not be used for soup or other liquids to prevent overflow. It includes an 8-hour keep warm function at 60°C.
- Time Selection (min): This button allows users to select cooking durations: 10 minutes, 45 minutes, and 90 minutes. These modes involve a "small fire" (gentle heating) after the water has boiled.
- 10min Mode: After water boils, it continues to cook for 10 minutes, suitable for tea and eggs. It includes an 8-hour keep warm function at 60°C.
- 45min Mode: After water boils, it continues to cook for 45 minutes, suitable for millet, lotus seeds, and whole grains. It includes an 8-hour keep warm function at 60°C.
- 90min Mode: After water boils, it continues to cook for 90 minutes, suitable for tremella and beans. It includes an 8-hour keep warm function at 60°C.
Usage Features
The BUYDEEM K313 incorporates several features to enhance user experience and safety:
- Initial Use and Boiling Point Detection: Before first use, it is recommended to perform a boiling point detection operation, especially if living in areas with altitudes higher than 250m. This calibrates the device to the local boiling point, ensuring more accurate and efficient operation. To do this, fill the pot to the 600ml mark, plug in the power, then touch and hold the "°C" button for 3 seconds until the middle button flashes. Press the middle button to start the self-test. Once completed, the device will shut down and enter standby.
- Keep Warm Mode: By default, the product keeps warm for 8 hours after cooking. The lamp circle displays a "breathing light" to indicate that it is in keep warm mode. This automatic keep warm mode can be canceled by long-pressing the "Cooking" button for 3 seconds after powering on and entering standby mode.
- Beverage Maker Pause Memory Function: If the device is paused using the middle button during operation, it can resume the previous task within 30 minutes by pressing the middle button again. However, if the program is not resumed within 30 minutes, the function will not be executed again.
- Avoid Misuse Feature: To prevent accidental changes, the function mode can only be switched within the first 30 seconds of operation by pressing "min" or "°C" and then confirming with the middle button. After 30 seconds, the function cannot be switched without first pausing the device.
- Cold Water Protection: If cold water is added during cooking, the device will automatically re-boil the water before continuing the unfinished program, ensuring the safety and quality of the beverage.
- Lid Design: The lid is designed for secure placement. Users should tighten the lid handle and pull upward to remove it. When closing, the lid's silicone groove must be aligned with the handle to prevent it from falling off when pouring.
- Water Level Guidelines: Users must ensure that water and ingredients do not exceed the maximum water level or fall below the minimum water level to prevent splashing or dry burning. Milk or soya milk should not be poured directly into the beverage maker except when using the 40°C mode, to prevent burning at the bottom.
Maintenance Features
Proper cleaning and descaling are crucial for maintaining the performance and lifespan of the BUYDEEM K313.
- Cleaning:
- Unplug the power cord.
- Once the product has cooled down, clean the inside with a wet sponge.
- It is important not to immerse the glass body, power supply, or plug in water. The electronic connector at the bottom of the pot must not touch water.
- Clean the device promptly after each use.
- Descaling: The beverage maker should be descaled regularly, at least once a month, or more frequently if water quality is poor. Scale spots on the heating plate are normal and can be scrubbed with a scouring pad. For more severe scale, two methods are recommended:
- Using White Vinegar:
- Add 100ml of white vinegar to the product.
- Fill with water to the 200ml mark.
- Activate the "°C" button (presumably the 100°C boiling mode).
- After the procedure, let it stand for 1 hour.
- Wipe the bottom of the pot with a scouring pad.
- Using Citric Acid:
- Add 200ml of water to the product.
- Add 10g of citric acid.
- Activate the "100°C" boiling water mode.
- After automatic power off, let it stand for 5-10 minutes (longer for heavy scale).
- Pour out the water and wipe the bottom of the pot with a scouring pad.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a simple troubleshooting guide for common issues like power failure, continuous beeping (dry burn protection or NTC abnormal), the pot stopping during heating (high water temperature), and water smells (for new devices). Solutions range from checking connections and cooling down to contacting after-sales service or boiling water with baking soda.
- Environmental Protection: The product is designed with environmental protection in mind, indicating the presence and levels of hazardous substances in its components, in compliance with Chinese regulations. It has an environmental protection use period of 10 years and is recyclable.
The BUYDEEM K313 Mini K Beverage Maker is a thoughtfully designed appliance that combines functionality, safety, and ease of maintenance for everyday use.
