Always switch OFF the appliance (turn the control dial to standby, press POWER but-
ton), then unplug the appliance, and leave the appliance cool down, before moving or
cleaning the appliance. Do not attempt to move the appliance or disassemble any parts
during operation.
Do not clean the appliance, or power cord, or any of the parts or accessories in an
automatic dishwasher! Do not immerse the housing, or power cord in water or any other
liquid, to avoid hazards due to electric shock and damage. Do not spill or drip any
liquids on the housing and power cord to avoid risk of overheating, fire, and electric
shock.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads) for clea-
ning the appliance or any parts of it, to avoid damage to the surfaces. Do not use any
hard or sharp-edged objects for cleaning. Do not use any violence.
The steam wand tool holds a fine pin. Handle with care to avoid pricking anyone. Do
not leave little children play with any part or accessory of the appliance including the
cleaning tools.
REPLACING THE FILTER PACK AND CLEANING THE WATER TANK
The water filter helps to prevent the accumulation of scale within the inner parts of the
machine, as this can affect the performance of your machine over time, potentially cau-
sing blockages and heating problems. Replacing the filter pack of the water filter every
two months with the designated filter pack will reduce the mineral build-up in the machi-
ne (see: >De-Scaling the Machine<). If you live in a hard water area, we recommend
to change the water filter more frequently.
Note:
Visit www.gastroback.de or call your vendor to purchase the designated filter packs
for the water filter. Please contact your vendor for further reference.
1. Remove the filter pack from the plastic bag, and soak the filter pack in a cup of water
for 5 minutes.
2. Lift the water tank up and out of the machine. Empty the water tank.
3. Pull the water filter out of the water tank by the top ring. Disassemble the filter holder
by pressing the two flaps at the base of the filter holder simultaneously while pulling
the two parts of the filter holder apart. Dispose of the exhausted filter pack in dome-
stic waste. Wash the stainless steel mesh in the base of the filter holder with water.
4. Rinse the new, soaked filter pack under cold running water for some seconds. As
a memory aid, you may set the white date dial on top of the filter holder 2 months
ahead.
