  • Carefully tilt the thermopot to drain any remaining water.
  • Replace the lid (8). Before use, ensure the lid (8) is securely fixed and button (6) is pressed.
  • The thermopot is ready for use.

Using the Thermopot:

  1. Open the lid (8) by pressing button (6) and lifting it (Fig. 2, 3).
  2. Fill with water using a suitable container, not exceeding the «MAX» (3) mark. Do not overfill, as hot water may splash out when boiling.
  3. Insert the power cord plug (14) into the connector (12) on the thermopot body, and plug the power cord (14) into the mains. A sound signal will sound, and all display indicators will light up for a few seconds.

Temperature Selection:

To change the desired hot water maintenance temperature, repeatedly press the water temperature selection button (21) «Select T°C» (Fig. 5). The maintenance temperature can be varied in the range «CO/40/45/50/55/60/65/70/75/80/85/90/95/100°C», where «CO» is the self-cooling mode.

  • The set maintenance temperature is shown on the display indicator (15).
  • Depending on the current water temperature (indicator (18)), the thermopot will automatically heat the water to the set temperature (indicator (15)).
  • Note: If the selected temperature is lower than the current temperature, the water will first cool to the set temperature, then maintain it. If the water temperature drops below the set temperature by more than 5 degrees, the thermopot will switch to heating mode.

Water Dispense and Dosing Function:

5-Second Water Dispense:

  1. First, press button (23) (Fig. 7). The five function buttons on the control panel (5) will light up, indicating the control panel is unlocked.
  2. Then, press button (22) (Fig. 6). The thermopot will continuously dispense water for 5 seconds. The «Timer» indicator (15) on the display will show a countdown in seconds (water output 200-250 ml). To stop dispensing, press the «» button again.

Continuous Water Dispense:

  1. First, press button (23). When the five function buttons light up, the control panel is unlocked.
