The overflow pipe must not be closed or blocked, nor may it be extended by means of
flexible tubing or piping.
Caution: The water container, mixer valve, swivel spout and overflow pipe will
inevitably become hot (up to 100 °C) during use. Please therefore ensure that small
children are kept well out of reach of the appliance.
An additional safety device to prevent overheating is installed in this appliance, which
cuts out if there is a functional defect or the appliance is used improperly.
If the defect is still not rectified, the appliance absolutely must be inspected by an
electrician.
1.3 Care of your appliance
Wipe the appliance from time to time with a damp cloth and then rub dry. The
chromiumplated parts may also be cleaned with a suitable cleanser.
1.4 Maintenance of appliance
Decalcifying
Important: Regular decalcifying ensures troublefree
operation.
Use
only
liquid
decalcifying
agents,
e.g.
Cillit
décalcifier. Fill the appliance with 1 litre of water and
heat to approx. 50 °C (beginning of the second white
line on the temperature selection dial).
Remove the cap (13) and stopper from the top of the
container and pour in 50 - 100 ml of decalcifying agent
depending
on
the
amount
of
furring.
Replace
the
stopper and cap and allow the decalcifying agent to
take effect for approx. 30 minutes. Then fill the container
to the 5 litre mark and reheat to 50 °C.
Leave the appliance for a further 30 minutes and then flush thoroughly with cold water,
making sure that the water can escape freely through the overflow pipe. Now empty the
appliance and re-flush with fresh water.
Caution! Concentrations of water-softener above the permitted level can damage or
even destroy the container seal!
Please do not use vinegar.
