Troubleshooting
No hot or boiling water dispensing
Check that the tank is powered on and has water. Ensure the filter is correctly installed and not blocked. Verify that the hot water supply line to the tank is connected and the valve is open.
Water temperature is not hot enough
Check the thermostat setting on the tank (if adjustable). Ensure the filter is not old and clogged, as this can affect heating. For persistent issues, consult the user manual or contact support.
Leaking from the tap or connections
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check O-rings and seals for damage and replace if necessary. Inspect the flexible tails and tank connections for cracks.
Slow water flow
The filter may be clogged; replace it. Check for blockages in the hot or cold water lines. Ensure the system is operating within its recommended pressure range.
Boiling water lever is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the tap is not limescaled. If the issue persists, there may be an internal mechanism problem; contact customer support.
