The Caterlite J722-A 20Ltr Manual Fill Commercial Hot Water Boiler is a portable, plug-and-play electric beverage urn engineered specifically for Australian light-duty mobile caterers, community halls, sporting clubs, church functions, office staffrooms, market stalls, and bed-and-breakfast breakfast stations. Measuring 560 mm High x 350 mm in Diameter and weighing just 4.4 kg empty, this versatile countertop urn provides a generous 20-litre capacity that delivers piping-hot water for teas, instant coffees, and hot beverages without requiring a mains plumbing connection. Built with a twin-walled insulated stainless steel body, an external at-a-glance water level indicator, an adjustable thermostat (40°C to 95°C), an automatic boil-dry safety cut-off, a secure twist-lock safety lid, and a standard Australian 10A plug, the J722-A ensures safe, energy-efficient, and effortless hot water dispensing on any level benchtop.

Why light-duty hospitality operators choose the Caterlite J722-A:

• Generous 20-litre manual fill capacity — holds up to 20 litres of water to serve high-volume hot beverages during meetings, sporting half-times, and catered events without requiring permanent plumbing.

• Completely portable & unplumbed — manual fill design allows instant setup anywhere with a standard 10A wall outlet, making it ideal for pop-up events, food trailers, and off-grid mobile catering setups.

• Twin-walled stainless steel construction — dual-layer stainless steel wall insulation locks in thermal heat to reduce electrical energy consumption, speed up reheat cycles, and keep the outer casing cooler to the touch.

• At-a-glance external water gauge — clear, front-mounted sight glass tube allows staff to monitor internal water volume instantly, ensuring timely refills before the boiler runs dry.

• Variable thermostatic temperature control (40°C to 95°C) — smooth manual dial allows precise water temperature selection, ideal for delicate green teas, standard black teas, instant soups, and warming applications.

• Dual boil-dry safety protection — automated thermal cut-off sensor prevents element burnout if water runs low, complete with a convenient base-mounted manual reset button.

• Secure twist-lock lid & non-drip tap — insulated stainless steel lid locks securely into place to prevent accidental scalds during transit, while the 150mm high non-drip dispensing tap easily accommodates standard mugs and disposable cups.

• Removable easy-empty drip tray included — catches accidental splashes and overflows, lifting off effortlessly for fast, mess-free end-of-service cleaning.

• Standard 10A plug-and-play operation — energy-efficient 2.0 kW (6.9A) heating element operates on standard Australian single-phase 230V mains power via a factory-fitted 10 Amp plug.

Technical Specifications

Operating, Safety & Descaling Guidelines

To ensure safe operation, clear water taste, and long element life:

1. Light-Duty Application: The Caterlite J722-A is engineered specifically for light-duty commercial, office, club, and event applications. It is not designed for continuous 24/7 heavy commercial kitchen service or industrial production lines; overworking the boiler outside its intended light-duty parameters may affect warranty eligibility.

2. Preventing Boil-Dry Tripping: Always monitor the external sight glass to keep water levels above the minimum internal fill line. If the boiler runs dry, the safety thermal switch will trip. If this occurs, switch off the unit, allow it to cool down completely, and firmly press the reset button located under the base of the urn before refilling.

3. Regular Descaling (Every 2 to 4 Weeks): In hard-water areas across Australia, dissolved mineral limescale naturally deposits onto the submerged stainless steel base element. Routinely descale the interior using an approved commercial, food-safe urn descaling solution to ensure accurate temperature sensing, prevent element overheating, and maintain rapid boiling speeds.

4. Daily Cleaning: Empty remaining water at the end of each day. Wipe down the interior cylinder and polished stainless steel outer body with warm soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth. Remove and empty the drip tray, rinse clean, and snap back into place. Never submerge the urn base in water or wash down with a hose.

Electrical & Countertop Setup Notice

The Caterlite J722-A draws 2000W (approx. 6.9 Amps) and operates on standard Australian 230V–240V single-phase power.

Place the unit on a flat, stable, heat-resistant commercial workbench or servery counter away from edge drop-offs, and ensure the 150mm tap clearance allows cups to sit securely on the drip tray during dispensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Caterlite J722-A require a plumbed mains water connection?

No. The J722-A is a completely manual-fill, unplumbed water urn. You simply fill the top reservoir using a clean jug or container and plug it into a standard 10A power socket. This makes it ideal for mobile food vans, temporary marquee catering, community halls, and boardrooms where water plumbing is unavailable.

What does "light-duty" use mean for this water boiler?

"Light-duty" indicates the machine is engineered for intermittent usage—such as morning tea services, church gatherings, office staff rooms, sporting club weekends, or small-scale events. It is not built for relentless, 24/7 continuous boiling in massive high-turnover institutions or high-demand commercial kitchen wash-up lines.

How does the boil-dry safety cut-off work, and how do I reset it?

If the water level drops too low or evaporates completely, an internal thermal sensor automatically cuts power to the heating element to prevent heat damage and fire risks. If this safety cut-off activates, turn off and unplug the boiler, let it cool completely, fill it with water, and press the manual reset pin button located underneath the base of the machine.

Can this urn keep water warm without boiling continuously?

Yes. The variable thermostat dial allows you to select operating temperatures anywhere between 40°C and 95°C. Once the water reaches the set temperature, the internal thermostat cycles off and only engages the heating element as needed to maintain heat, preventing continuous boiling and saving power.

What electrical outlet is required?

The Caterlite J722-A draws an economical 2.0 kW (6.9 Amps) on standard Australian 230V power. It comes factory-fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and lead, allowing immediate plug-and-play use in any standard commercial or residential electrical outlet without needing 15A electrical circuit upgrades.
