contact with live electrical connections in the base
3
,
which could cause a short circuit.
Injury hazard
For safety reasons, the lid should not be opened
while the water is boiling or is very hot.
There is a risk of receiving severe scalds.
Cleaning and Care
Danger
Do not open any part of the housing.
There are no user-servicable elements inside.
An open housing can create the risk of a lethal
electrical shock.
Never submerse any parts of the appliance in
water or other liquids! This can create the risk
of a life-threatening electrical shock if residual
liquid comes into contact with powered
components.
Risk of personal injuries
Before cleaning the appliance, remove the plug
from the mains power socket and allow the appliance
to cool down.
• Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cord
with a slighly damp cloth. Be sure to dry the
appliance well before taking it back into use.
• For stainless steel surfaces, you can use appropriate
cleaning agents from a specialized dealer.
• Never use detergents, abrasive cleaners or solvents.
These can damage the appliance.
In the event of scale deposits:
• Before descaling, remove the pourer sieve
5
(see chapter "Removing/replacing the pourer
sieve").
• Obtain any decalcifying agent suitable for kitchen
utensils (e.g. decalcifiers for coffee machines)
from a hardware shop. Proceed as detailed in
the instructions provided for the use of the
decalcfying agent.

• Press the retainer at the top of the pourer sieve
5
down and, at the same time, pull the pourer
sieve
5
inwards.
• Remove the pourer sieve

with a lightly
moistened dishcloth and under running water.

is firmly seated.
Notice
Should the scale deposits in the pourer sieve
5
