∙ The appliance should be switched off when the water tank is
empty or when it should not be used. If the appliance is not
used for longer time, it should be unplugged and cleaned.

appliance and contact the service.

Cleaning
Attention! Pull the plug before cleaning and allow
∙
the device to cool down.
∙ Never immerse the unit into water.
∙ Hygiene: Please always clean the device to avoid bacteria and
mold formation.
∙ The appliance must be cleaned more often the harder the wa-
ter is. Too much lime disturbs the correct working of the appli-
ance and leads to the formation of scale. In this case use boiled
or distilled water. In any case do not use carbonated mineral
water!
∙ If you do not use the device for a longer period of time, or if the
device is calcified, proceed as follows:
o Pull the plug and remove the water from the water tank
and the basin.
o Scale remains at the base, the transductor and the water
tank should be wiped away. It is essential, that the trans-
ductor is not damaged. When there is excessive scale
some scale remover should be used or fill vinegar in the
basin. After some time, depending on deposit, the scale
dissolved. After this the base must be cleaned completely
with clean water.
o Screw the ceramic filter back into the water tank with the
perforation facing up.
