unit without any water or with too little water, the unit shuts itself off. Wait a moment until the unit
has cooled off. Fill the unit with water and continue as usual.
Lift-off shut-off
If you happen to lift the unit off the base station while boiling, the unit shuts itself off. This is the so-
called lift-off shut-off.
Cleaning
First pull the plug out of the electric socket and let the unit cool off.
Clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, moist cloth. If heavily soiled, you can use a mild deter-
gent.
Decalcifying
Depending on the hardness degree of the water, lime scale can build up over time on the bottom and
on the interior wall of the stainless steel tank. The harder the water, the faster the lime scale builds
up. That is harmless but it can impair the performance of the unit.
For that reason, we recommend regularly decalcifying the unit as follows
Fill the unit three-quarters full with water.
x
Boil it.
x
After the unit has shut itself off, fill the unit additionally with distilled white vinegar up.
