The Kolin Coffee Tea Bar Water Dispenser, model KCB-BLC-8859T, is an innovative appliance designed to cater to various beverage needs, offering both hot and cold water dispensing capabilities, along with features for brewing coffee and tea. This sleek and compact unit aims to enhance any home or office decor while providing exceptional functionality and convenience.
The primary function of the Kolin Coffee Tea Bar is to dispense water, but it goes beyond a standard water dispenser by integrating an anti-scalding heating kettle and a high boron glass kettle. This allows users to enjoy refreshing cold water, real boiling hot water at 100°C, and to brew their favorite coffee or tea directly within the unit. The appliance is designed for use with 3 and 5-gallon water containers, which are placed in a lower compartment.
The device features a touch control panel and a remote controller for ease of use. The touch control panel includes icons for Power, Pour Water, Heat, Cool/Pour Water, and Keep Warm. The Power icon allows users to turn the machine on and off. The Pour Water icon dispenses water into the black electric kettle, while the Heat icon activates the heating process, bringing water up to 100°C. The Cool/Pour Water icon dispenses cold water from the left faucet and also activates the cooling process. The Keep Warm icon activates a thermal insulation plate to maintain beverage temperature.
The remote controller mirrors these functions, offering buttons for Power, Water (to dispense into the black kettle), Heat, Thermostat/Cold (to activate cooling), Warm (for the thermal insulation plate), and Cold Water (to dispense from the left faucet).
The display panel provides visual indications of the device's status. It shows icons for power, water being dispensed into the black kettle, heat activation, cool activation, and cold water dispensing. It also indicates when the thermal insulation plate is active and when the machine is in standby mode ("OFF"). The display can show the temperature of the black kettle and a countdown timer for water dispensing. Safety features are also indicated, such as "E1" if the black electric kettle is not in place, disabling heat and the right faucet, and "E2" for dry burning, which triggers an automatic shutdown if water is not added when heating.
To begin using the Coffee Tea Bar, it is recommended to allow the unit to sit upright for 2 hours after unpacking to prevent cooling system malfunctions. After placing a filled water container in the lower compartment and ensuring the water extraction pipe is properly inserted, the unit can be plugged in. The water faucet assembly, including the silica gels and wire clip connector, must be securely installed. The glass kettle should be placed on the induction plate, and the black kettle on the coupler.
For hot water, users double-press the Pour Water icon to fill the black electric kettle, then press the Heat icon to start heating. The heating process takes approximately 3 minutes to reach the desired temperature (e.g., 100°C), after which it automatically stops. The thermal insulation plate, activated by the Keep Warm icon, maintains a temperature of 70°C for up to 8 hours.
For cold water, users double-press the Cool/Pour Water icon to dispense water from the left faucet. To activate the cooling system, the Cool icon must be pressed and held for 3 seconds. The system will cool water to 5-10°C in about 15-30 minutes and will automatically restart if the temperature rises.
The device allows for customization of settings in standby mode by pressing and holding icons for 3 seconds on the touch control panel. Users can adjust the timer for the thermal insulation plate (1-24 hours, default 8 hours), the duration of cold water pouring (20-40 seconds, default 25 seconds), the heating temperature (50-100°C in 5°C increments), and the duration of water pouring into the black kettle (18-50 seconds). It is important to note that disconnecting the product from the power source will revert settings to default.
Safety is paramount, and users are warned against using liquids other than water, alternative containers, or operating the product with wet hands. Children should be supervised, and the appliance should be kept away from heat sources and wet areas. Overfilling the kettle should be avoided to prevent scalding.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for optimal performance and water quality. Before any maintenance, the power switch must be turned off, and the machine unplugged. The machine body should be wiped daily or weekly with a clean cloth, and the interior should be cleaned monthly, or as needed based on the environment.
General cleaning involves using a soft, damp cloth with warm, soapy water to clean the control panel and other surfaces, avoiding immersion of the coupler or power base. Dust from the back of the dispenser should be wiped away to enhance efficiency. The black electric kettle can be scrubbed with a wet cloth but not immersed in water or washed in a dishwasher. The boron glass kettle, however, can be immersed in water and is dishwasher-safe.
Cleaning the cold water tank is recommended every 3 months or if an off-taste is detected. This involves turning off the machine, unplugging it, rotating it to access the drain plug, and draining existing water into a bucket. A sanitizing solution (3 tablespoons of unscented bleach or vinegar with 1 gallon of tap water) is then prepared to wipe the water container cover and faucet area. For sanitizing storage tanks, the solution is filled into an empty water container, inserted into the machine, and dispensed into the tanks by double-pressing the cold icon. After 10 minutes, the solution is drained. Rinsing involves repeating this process with tap water. If a vinegar or chlorine taste persists, the rinsing process should be repeated.
Periodic descaling is recommended two to six times per year, or when boiling takes longer or auto-shutdown occurs immediately. Scale, a natural calcareous sediment, can affect temperature accuracy and taste. The descaling method involves filling the black kettle with a 1:2 mixture of vinegar and water (up to 720mL), boiling it, letting it sit for 2 hours, then pouring it out and rinsing thoroughly. Boiling clean water afterward helps remove any lingering vinegar taste.
Other maintenance precautions include ensuring the power switch is off and the plug is unplugged before any service, avoiding harmful detergents for cleaning the water container, and using a damp soft cloth for external cleaning to prevent water from entering the interior. The thermal insulation plate can reach up to 85°C, so direct contact should be avoided to prevent burns.
