To raise or lower the temperature, turn the Temperature Control. The “Max” setting is recommended for best performance. However, under certain conditions, it is possible for the water to boil when the Temperature Control is set at “Max.” If you see any vapor or hear boiling, turn Temperature Control to lower temperature as necessary.
Dispensing hot water
Push down and turn the faucet cap clockwise and hold until desired amount of hot water is obtained. There is a small delay from the time the faucet cap is turned until hot water is dispensed. This delay is normal.
