CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

of the appliance.
Warning! Before performing cleaning and maintenance operations, turn
the  appliance off, disconnect it from the power source and let it cool down,

Attention! Never clean the appliance with harsh, alkaline, abrasive or disinfecting
chemical compounds, as they may adversely affect appliance surfaces.
Attention! Do not immerse the appliance or its base in water or other liquids.
8.2
Descaling
In order to remove scale deposited inside the kettle and on the heating element, prepare
a solution of water and vinegar (1 part vinegar per 2 parts water). Pour the solution
into the kettle and heat it up, but DO NOT BOIL THE SOLUTION! Leave the solution in
the kettle for about 1 hour, then pour it out, fill the kettle with water up to the maximum
level and boil the water. Pour the water out and remove deposit residues with a damp
cloth. If water at your location leaves lots of scale, frequent descaling is recommended.
Do not perform descaling with chemicals intended for coffee makers or irons.
Attention! Descaling frequency depends on the quality and type of water used and on how
frequently the product is used. Descaling should be performed when you notice that more
than a quarter of the bottom surface is covered with scale.
