base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy to
store the appliance.
Descaling

area, lime deposits may build up on the
heating element. It is advisable to remove
any such deposits at regular intervals. A
mixture of 0.5 litres of water to two
tablespoons of vinegar essence is suitable.
- 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.
