| Q3. |
What
is an electric boiler & warmer? |
| A3. |
An electric boiler & warmer is a kitchen appliance that keeps water at a constant hot temperature for hot drinks and other culinary uses. You simply fill the boiler with water and plug it in. It boils the water and keeps it at a set temperature all day long. With an electric boiler & warmer, hot water is ready all day at the touch of a button for hot tea, instant coffee and instant noodles. Each model features different hot water temperature settings depending upon your needs. Some also utilize vacuum insulation to keep water hot without the use of electricity. See How to Choose and Compare. Also see Question 5, “What are all those temperatures for?” |

|
| Q4. |
Can
I use the electric boiler & warmer to heat other liquids? |
| A4. |
No, the electric
boiler & warmer is for water only. |
| |
|
| Q5. |
What
are all those temperatures for? |
| A5. |
The multiple temperatures can be used for different beverages and foods. Here is a sample:
212 degrees F and 208 degrees F: Instant noodles, instant coffee, hot (black) tea
195 degrees F and 175 degrees F: Hot green tea
140 degrees F: High quality green tea

| Q6. |
How
long does it take to boil water in an electric boiler & warmer? |
| A6. |
It depends
on the temperature of the water and the amount, but it usually takes
30 to 40 minutes. The electric boiler & warmer is not meant
to boil water quickly, but to keep the water at a steady temperature
all day long; that is why most of the models have a timer. Please
see Question 7, “How does the timer work?” for more
information on the timer. |
| |
|
| Q7. |
How
does the timer work? |
| A7. |
By setting
the timer, you can have hot water ready within a specified time.
When the timer is set, the electricity is automatically cut off
until needed to heat the water. It’s perfect if you set it
before you go to bed, so hot water will be ready for instant coffee
or oatmeal the next morning. It also saves energy by not having
the electric boiler & warmer on all night long. |
| |
|
| Q8. |
What
does the Descaling mode do? |
| A8. |
The descaling mode cleans the inner container by reboiling the water with Zojirushi’s Inner Container Cleaner (CD-K03E) or citric acid. If the inner container still becomes
scaled, please see Question 9 for ‘How can I clean the water
deposits in my Electric Boiler & Warmer?’ |
| |
|
| Q9. |
How
can I clean the water deposits in my Electric Boiler & Warmer? |
| A9. |
We recommend you clean the inner container periodically with Zojirushi’s Inner Container Cleaner (CD-K03E) or citric acid every 1 to 3 months. You can purchase the cleaner from our online Zojirushi Store or by calling our Customer Service Department at 800-733-6270, M-F, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST. Follow these instructions to clean with citric acid: |
• |
Put 1 package of citric acid CD-K03E in a cup and add warm water to dissolve. Pour it into the inner container and fill with water to the maximum water level line. The cleaner may also be substituted with ½ cup of lemon juice from concentrate. If using freshly squeezed lemon juice, please be sure to strain first, so the pulp does not get caught in the pump and damage the boiler. |
• |
Close the upper lid, insert the power plug and press the REBOIL button for more than 3 seconds. This will activate the descaling mode. |
• |
Once cleaning completes, unplug the power plug, detach the upper lid and dispose water where indicated “EMPTY FROM HERE.” |
• |
To remove the smell of citric acid, fill the inner container with water. Boil and dispense about a cup of hot water, allow to cool, then dispose the remaining water. |
| |
|
| Q10. |
What
does the Dechlorinate mode do? |
| A10. |
The dechlorinate
mode reduces chlorine and musty odors from tap water by extending
the boiling time. |
| |
|
| Q11. |
What
does the safety auto shut-off do? |
| A11. |
The boiler will automatically turn off to avoid overheating when there is no water left in the boiler or when the lid is left open. |
| |
|
| |
If none
of these answered your questions, please contact our Customer Service
Department at 800-733-6270, M-F 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST or by
