Cleaning
• The intervals for descaling depend on the hardness of
the water and the frequency of use.
• If the appliance switches off before the water boils,
descaling is necessary.
• Do not use vinegar, but a commercially available des-
caling agent based on citric acid. Dose according to the
instructions.
• After descaling, boil fresh water several times (approx.
3 to 4 times) to remove residues. Do not use this water
for consumption.
• Clean the appliance as described and allow it to dry
completely.
• We recommend storing the appliance in its original
packaging if you do not intend to use it for a long period
of time.
• Always store the appliance out of the reach of children in
a well-ventilated and dry place.
