Is the water taste affected by the stainless steel tank?

No, the stainless steel tank is designed to maintain the purity of the water, ensuring a clean and pure taste free from metallic flavors.

What should I do if the water isn't hot enough?

Ensure the unit is properly powered and has had sufficient time to heat. If usage is very high, allow the unit time to recover its temperature. Check the thermostat setting if accessible.

How often should I clean the unit?

Wipe the exterior regularly with a damp cloth. Descaling or flushing of the internal tank should be performed periodically as recommended by the manufacturer, typically based on water hardness and usage.

Troubleshooting

Unit not heating water

Check the power supply and ensure the unit is switched on. Verify that the water mains supply is turned on. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Low flow rate

Check for blockages in the water inlet or tap. Scale build-up in the tank can also reduce flow; consider descaling the unit as per manufacturer instructions.

Water not reaching boiling point

Ensure the thermostat is set correctly. If the unit is frequently re-filling during high demand, it may take longer to reach boiling. Allow adequate recovery time or reduce usage frequency.

Unit is making unusual noises

Some gurgling or humming noises are normal during the heating and re-filling process. If noises are loud or persistent, check for airlocks or blockages and contact support if necessary.
