There is a risk of receiving severe scalds.

Cleaning and Care

￿Danger

Do not open any part of the housing.

There are no user-servicable elements inside. An open housing can create the risk of a lethal electrical shock.

Never submerse any parts of the appliance in water or other liquids! This can create the risk of a life-threatening electrical shock if residual liquid comes into contact with powered components.

￿Risk of personal injuries

Before cleaning the appliance, remove the plug from the mains power socket and allow the appliance to cool down.

•Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cord with a slighly damp cloth. Be sure to dry the appliance well before taking it back into use.

•For stainless steel surfaces, you can use appropriate cleaning agents from a specialized dealer.

•Never use detergents, abrasive cleaners or solvents. These can damage the appliance.

In the event of scale deposits:

•Before descaling, remove the pourer sieve 5 (see chapter "Removing/replacing the pourer sieve").

•Obtain any decalcifying agent suitable for kitchen utensils (e.g. decalcifiers for coffee machines) from a hardware shop. Proceed as detailed in the instructions provided for the use of the decalcfying agent.

Removing/replacing the pouring sieve

•Open the lid.

•Press the retainer at the top of the pourer sieve 5 down and, at the same time, pull the pourer sieve 5 inwards.

•Remove the pourer sieve 5.

•Clean the pouring sieve 5 with a lightly moistened dishcloth and under running water.

•Replace the pourer sieve 5 after cleaning it. Ensure that the retainer engages and that the pourer sieve 5 is firmly seated.

Notice

Should the scale deposits in the pourer sieve 5 be firmly established, lay it in a water-vinegar solution having a ratio of 6:1 for a few hours. The scale deposits will dissolve themselves. Rinse the pourer sieve 5 with lots of clear water.
