Cleaning; Decalcification; Troubleshooting - Profi Cook PC-WKS 1083 Mode D'emploi

WARNING:
• Always turn the device off before cleaning it and remove the mains
plug. Wait until the device has cooled down.
• Never immerse the device or the base in water or other liquids.
CAUTION:
• Do not use any wire brush or other abrasive
objects.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
• Rinse the water container out with clean water.
Then dry it off with a cloth.
• Clean the housing after use with a slightly
damp cloth.
• A permanent filter is located at the spout open-
ing. To clean the filter, pull it out when the lid
is open. Rinse it out under running water. If
necessary, clean it with a nylon brush. Reinsert
the filter. To do so, use the guides on the inside
of the kettle.

Decalcification

• The frequency of the decalcifying operation
depends on the hardness of the water and on
how often the appliance is used.
• If the machine switches off before the water
boils, it probably needs to be decalcified.
• Please do not use vinegar but a commercially
available 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.
