Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it
is disconnected from the power supply
and has cooled down completely.
∙ Make sure you only wipe the main unit
with heating element with a slightly
damp cloth to avoid the risk of electric
shock.
∙ In the case of contact with water, wipe
the main unit thoroughly dry. I may not
be used again until completely dry.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
∙ You can also remove the stainless steel
jacket for easier cleaning as follows:
∙ Remove the silicon coating from the
stainless steel jacket by pulling it
downwards.
∙ Loosen the screw above the MAX
mark.
∙ Unlock the stainless steel jacket by
turning it heftily and then remove it.
∙ Rinse the stainless steel jacket in
clean water and then dry it well.
∙ Once properly dry, re-assemble the
appliance as follows:
∙ Replace the stainless steel jacket onto
the main unit and lock in place.
∙ Tighten the screw.
∙ Put on the silicone coating. The clip
must rest on the silicone coating.
∙ If necessary, remove scale from the
heating element (see "Descaling").

Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality (lime
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need
descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits)
on a regular basis to warrant proper
functioning.
∙ Any warranty claim will be null and
void if the appliance malfunctions
because of insufficient descaling.
∙ Excessive lime-scale build-up on the
heating tube indicates that descaling
has become necessary.
∙ For descaling, a vinegar solution may be
used.
∙ For this purpose, mix the vinegar
essence and cold water in a ratio of 1:15
(approx. 65 ml of vinegar essence per 1
l of water) in a pot.
∙ Immerse the appliance with stainless
steel jacket (make sure you observe the
min/max marks) in the pot and leave at
80 °C for approx. 30 min.
∙ Repeat the procedure if necessary.
∙ During descaling, ensure sufficient
ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar
vapours.
∙ After descaling, insert the appliance up
to the Max mark in clean tap water and
dry thoroughly afterwards.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel
sinks.
