∙ Remove the plug from the wall outlet
after use (the red indicator light goes
out).
∙ Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy to
store the appliance.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your
area, lime deposits may build up on the
heating element. It is advisable to remove
any such deposits at regular intervals. Any
warranty claim will be null and void if
the appliance malfunctions because of
insuffi cient descaling. A mixture of 0.5
litres of water and 40 ml of vinegar essence
is suitable.
∙ Pour the descaler in.
∙ Switch the appliance on and let the
solution reach boiling point.
∙ Leave it to take effect for a short period.
∙ To clean the container after descaling,
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
∙ During descaling, ensure suffi cient
ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar
vapours.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
