Cleaning And Maintenance - SOLIS 5514 Mode D'emploi

7. Should there be too little water in the jug or should the water have evaporated,
thereby triggering the overheat protection, pull the plug and let the appliance
cool down for 30 minutes before refilling cold water into the jug.
8. If you use the function 100°/BOIL to boil water or a heating function, never open
the lid, as hot water might splash out of the jug. If you want to open the lid,
e.g. to refill cold water, the hot water remaining in the jug should be poured out
through the spout first, with the lid closed.
9. Because steam needs to escape during the boiling process, the spout is always
open. Therefore, water might escape when the filled jug is tilted or toppled to
one side. As a consequence, the filled jug always has to be in an upright position.
Caution: Always be careful not to burn or scald yourself on the hot steam that
escapes from the spout.
10. If you do not need the hot water anymore, pull the power plug, pour the remain-
ing water out of the jug and let the appliance cool down.
Notes:
•
Do not tilt the filled jug too strongly and never turn it upside down, even when
the lid is shut. Water can escape even if the lid is shut!
• Before switching the appliance on, always make sure that the lid is shut.
•
The cover of the heating element in the jug bottom is made from high quality
stainless steel. Should any brown deposits form, this is not rust but limestone
which can be removed as described in the section "Descaling" on page 116.
s CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Before cleaning, pull the power plug and let the Tea Kettle and the accessories
cool down completely.
2. Never submerge the jug or the appliance base in water or any other liquids and
do not spray water or any other liquids onto the appliance parts. Risk of electric
shock!
3. Clean the outside and inside of the jug as well as the appliance base after every
use with a slightly wet towel and dry everything.
4. Clean the tea strainer and the lid ring with the lid insert in hot dish water, rinse
everything with clear water and dry everything carefully
Tip: If you want to remove the discolourations on the tea strainer, put a few
drops of mild washing up liquid on a soft sponge and clean the tea strainer with
it. Never put the washing up liquid directly on the tea strainer, always put it on
the sponge. After that, thoroughly rinse the tea strainer with clear water and
dry it.
