Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Hamoki BM-6T, place it on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface near a 13A power outlet. Before turning the unit on, ensure the drain tap is firmly closed and fill the tank with water until it reaches the indicated level.
Care instructions are straightforward due to the stainless steel design. After each service shift, unplug the unit once it has cooled down, open the drain tap to remove the water, and wipe down the interior tank and exterior surfaces with a food-safe detergent. Do not use abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish and harbor bacteria. Periodically check the heating element for limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas, to ensure the unit maintains thermal efficiency.
