Cleaning the appliance
Danger:
Do not open any part of the housing. There are
no user-serviceable elements inside. An open
housing brings with it the risk of a lethal
electrical shock.
Before cleaning the appliance,
• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Press the steam switch w until the steam in the
boiler t has been completely discharged.
• Allow the appliance to cool down. This can take
up to 30 minutes.
Caution:
The lid threads remain hot for some consider-
able time, even after the rest of the device has
long since cooled down.
• A decalcification of the appliance is not necessary.
• Remove deposits and residues from the boiler t
after every usage, in that you rinse it out tho-
roughly. To do this, fill the boiler t with clear
mains water as described in the chapter „Filling
with Water“. Then close the lid q and vigorously
shake the appliance.
• Empty the tank when the cleaning process is
complete.
• Clean all exterior surfaces with a lightly
moistened dishcloth. In all cases, dry the
appliance well.
• Never use detergents, abrasive cleaners or
solvents. These can damage the appliance.
Storage
• Press the steam switch w until the steam in the
boiler t has been completely discharged.
• Allow the appliance to cool down completely
before putting it into storage.
• Empty the water tank after completing the tasks.
Water remaining in the boiler t could become
bacteriologically contaminated – the bacteria
would then be sprayed into the air the next time
the appliance is taken into use.
• Store the appliance in a dry place.
• Store the appliance where it will be out of reach
of children and people requiring supervision.
They cannot always correctly assess the risks
and dangers associated with heat-generating
appliances.
Disposal
Under no circumstances may the appliance
be disposed of with normal household
waste.
Dispose of the appliance through an approved
disposal centre or at your community waste facility.
Observe the currently applicable regulations. In case
of doubt, please contact your local waste disposal
centre.
