The Chefman Electric Hot Water Pot, model RJ16-LOCK, is a household appliance designed to provide hot water efficiently and safely. This user guide outlines its features, operating instructions, and important safety information.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Chefman Electric Hot Water Pot is to boil and maintain water at a hot temperature for various uses, such as making tea, coffee, or instant meals. It features a reboiling function to bring water back to a boil if it has cooled down, and a "Keep Warm" mode to maintain the desired temperature. Water can be dispensed in multiple ways: manually, using an electric spout button, or by pressing a dispense button on the control panel. A lock mode is included to prevent accidental dispensing and reboiling, enhancing safety, especially in households with children. The appliance is designed for water only; using other liquids can lead to malfunction, damage, and potential safety hazards.

Important Technical Specifications:

Capacity: 5.3 Liters (5.3L)
Power: The appliance operates on AC electrical outlets (ordinary household current). Specific wattage is not detailed but implied for boiling and keeping water warm.
Safety Features:
- Automatic shut-off when the container is empty of water.
- Lock Mode to deactivate dispense and reboil buttons.
- Warning against overfilling beyond the "MAX" or "FILL" line to prevent overflow and burns.
- Designed with a short power supply cord to reduce entanglement and tripping hazards.

Construction: Features an inner container, upper lid, handle, spout, cup spout switch, water level gauge with a refill mark, receptacle, appliance plug, power cord, and a swivel base for easy positioning.
Indicators: LED lights for "BOILING," "KEEP WARM," and "LOCK" status.

Usage Features:

Initial Use: Before first use, it is recommended to boil and discard one full pot of water to eliminate any potential plastic smell.
Filling: Water should be poured from another container (e.g., a jug) into the Hot Water Pot, not directly from the tap, to prevent overfilling and potential electrical shock. The water level should not exceed the "MAX FILL" line.
Boiling: Once plugged in and filled, the water will automatically begin to boil. The "BOILING" light will illuminate during this process.
Keep Warm Mode: After boiling, the appliance automatically switches to "KEEP WARM" mode, indicated by the corresponding light.
Reboiling: If the water has cooled in "KEEP WARM" mode, pressing the "REBOIL" button will re-boil the water. The re-boil function deactivates after a cycle is complete.
Dispensing:
- Manual Dispense: Water can be dispensed manually.
- Electric Spout Button: Pressing this button activates the electric pump for dispensing.
- Control Panel Dispense Button: A dedicated button on the control panel also activates dispensing.
Lock Mode: Pressing the "LOCK" button activates a safety lock, turning on the "LOCK" indicator light and deactivating both auto dispense and reboil buttons. Pressing it again deactivates the lock.
Water Level Gauge: A clear water level gauge with a "Refill mark" allows users to easily monitor the water quantity.
Swivel Base: The swivel base allows for convenient rotation of the pot without lifting.
Auto Shut-Off: The appliance will automatically shut off if the container is empty of water while plugged in. Users should unplug the unit, allow it to cool, and then add water.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential. If mineral deposits accumulate, the user guide suggests boiling water mixed with vinegar or lemon extract to clean the inside of the water pot.
Troubleshooting: A dedicated troubleshooting section helps users diagnose common issues such as water not boiling, improper pouring, or bad odor, and provides solutions.
Emptying: It is recommended to empty the container at least once a day to prevent unpleasant odors and mineral deposit accumulation. When emptying hot water, the lid should be detached first to avoid serious burns from steam. Care should be taken to prevent water from splashing onto the operation panel, hinge, handle, or power supply plug.
Cord Care: Users are advised to inspect the line cord for cuts or abrasion marks before each use and to avoid wrapping the cord tightly around the appliance. If the cord is damaged or the appliance malfunctions, it should be serviced by an authorized representative.

The Chefman Electric Hot Water Pot is designed for household use only and should not be used for commercial purposes. It emphasizes safety through features like the lock mode, auto shut-off, and clear instructions on proper filling and handling of hot water.
