Cleaning
• The frequency of the decalcifying operation de-
pends on the hardness of the water and on how
often the appliance is used.
• If the appliance switches off before the water boils,
it probably needs to be decalcified.
• Please do not use vinegar but a commercially avail-
able decalcification agent on the basis of citric acid.
Only use the quantities stated in the instructions.
NOTE:
After descaling the device boil fresh water in it
several times (approximately 3 - 4 times) in order to
remove any residues. Do not consume this water.
