CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Attention to regular care and maintenance will ensure long and trouble free
operation of your Hot Water Urn. Although scheduled servicing is not required we
do recommend you adopt a program of regular cleaning to ensure that the Urn
remains functional.
The Urn is primarily intended for heating pure water only, and if so it can be
kept filled with water overnight when used often. If any other types of liquids are
being heated then the urn should be emptied daily, cleaned and dried inside
and out. Note that heating liquids other than water may void warranty.
In bore water areas (i.e. where tap water contains excessive minerals), use
distilled or filtered water only. Otherwise rusting may occur.
If the urn is not being used the next day it is recommended that it is emptied,
cleaned and dried.
After long periods of non-use rinse the urn with clean water prior to operation.
The inside of the urn should be checked regularly for any scale or other crusty
deposits that may build up, which are caused by minerals in the water.
The water should be checked from time to time to ensure no dust or small
insects have found their way in.
To clean the inside of the urn use a non-metallic scourer and soapy water,
rinsing well with clean water. Build-up of crusty deposits can be removed by
filling the urn with a solution of 1 part vinegar to 8 parts water and allowing it to
soak overnight without turning the urn on. After emptying, if any heat stains
remain then rub some baking soda onto it whilst still wet, leave for a 10 minutes
and rub off. This should then be followed by the usual clean with soapy water
and a very thorough rinsing. Ensure that the tap is flushed of any residue with
clean water. In areas where water has a higher mineral content then removal of
scale and other deposits will be required more often.
Regular cleaning of the external parts of the machine should be conducted
daily, when the machine is turned off and cool. Wipe down the outside of the
machine with a cloth or sponge that is only DAMP with warm water. Add
some detergent to the water if required. Take care to avoid water entering any
part of the urn. Dry with a tea towel.
Toxic cleaners should be avoided when cleaning the inside of any Urn as
residual chemicals may remain in the Urn if rinsing is inadequate. This residue
may present a risk if mixed with drinking water and consumed. Caustic cleaners
should always be avoided, as they may damage components inside and
outside the urn.
Although every care is taken during manufacture to remove all sharp edges,
care should be taken when cleaning to avoid injury.
This unit is not suitable for cleaning with the use of a water jet or immersion.
