Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the base allows the
length of the power cord to be limited during use and to be
stored.
Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality in your area, lime
deposits may build up on the heating element. It is
advisable to remove any such deposits at regular
intervals.
∙ Any warranty claim will be null and void if the
appliance malfunctions because of insufficient
descaling.
∙ A mixture of 500 ml water and 40 ml vinegar essence is
suitable for descaling:
∙ Pour the descaler in.
∙ Switch the appliance on and let the solution reach
boiling point.
∙ Leave it to take effect for a short period.
∙ To clean the container after descaling, rinse thoroughly
with clean water.
∙ During descaling, ensure sufficient ventilation and do not
inhale any vinegar vapours.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel-coated sinks.
Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected
from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the water
container and the base with liquids and do not immerse
them. Do not clean under running water.
∙ For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free cloth may be
used.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions, and
do not use hard brushes for cleaning.
Lime filter
∙ If there is heavy build-up, the lime filter can be removed
from the spout and cleaned with a soft brush.
∙ Put the lime filter back in place after cleaning. To do this,
press the filter into the spout from the inside.
