oughly to remove any salt adher-

film to develop on stainless steel
surfaces.

15.3 Cleaning the appliance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
An ingress of moisture can cause an
electric shock.
▶
Never immerse the appliance or
the power cord in water.
▶
Liquids must not be spilled on the
appliance plug connection.
▶
Do not use steam- or high-pres-
sure cleaners to clean the appli-
ance.
WARNING
Risk of burns!
Some parts of the appliance become
very hot.
▶
Never touch hot appliance parts.
▶
Allow hot appliance parts to cool
down before touching.
1.
Clean the housing, the high-gloss
surfaces and the control panel with
the enclosed microfibre cloth.
2.
Clean the outlet system with a soft,
damp cloth after beverages have
been dispensed.
3.
If the appliance has not been used
for a long time, for example due to
holiday, clean the entire appliance
including the outlet system, milk
system, trays and brewing unit.
Note:
The appliance will rinse itself
automatically if you switch it on when
it is cold or switch it off after it has
dispensed coffee. The system is
therefore self-cleaning.
