FAQs

How much energy does the Perma Therm use to keep water hot?

Is the exterior of the thermo pot safe to touch?

Yes, the thermo pot features a coated stainless steel thermal casing that is designed to remain cool to the touch, preventing burns.

What happens if the water runs out?

The Perma Therm has an automatic boil-dry protection feature that cuts off power if the water level becomes too low.

How do I clean the inside of the thermo pot?

Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. You can clean the interior with a soft cloth and mild detergent, rinsing thoroughly. For limescale, use a suitable commercial descaler.

What is the capacity of the thermo pot?

Does it dispense water automatically, or do I need to press a button?

The thermo pot features 3 dispensing modes, which likely include options for manual dispensing or potentially timed dispensing, designed for ease of use.

Troubleshooting

Unit not turning on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the power button has been pressed.

Water not heating to the selected temperature

Verify the correct temperature has been selected. Ensure the lid is properly closed. If the unit is new, the initial heating cycle may take longer. Descale the unit if mineral build-up is suspected.

Water dispensing slowly or not at all

Check if the dispensing spout is blocked. Ensure the unit is on a level surface. The pump may need time to build pressure after prolonged periods of inactivity.

Indicator light flashing

Refer to the user manual for specific light codes. It may indicate a descaling requirement or a system error.
