Descaling
Limescale deposits cause energy loss and shorten the service life of the appliance. This is why we
recommend that you regularly remove limescale according to the quality of the water in the area
where you live and according to how often you use the appliance. In order to remove limescale, fill the
water reservoir with a mixture of water and descaler instead of using only water and then start the
cleaning programme. A standard descaler for kitchen appliances can be used to descale the appliance.
Read the instructions for use of the descaler to ensure the correct ratio of water to descaler. After
removing the limescale, run at least three cleaning cycles with only water to flush the water system in
the appliance.
EASY TO CLEAN
Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
Clean the appliance after each use and before long periods of storage.
We recommend cleaning the appliance as soon as it has cooled down before the remains of the
food dry in order to prevent creation of germs. Do not allow the remains of food to dry onto the
appliance completely.
Clean the base of the appliance with a damp cloth and detergent.
Rinse the water reservoir using a detergent and warm water and leave it to dry with the lid open.
Removable parts which are intended for contact with food can be washed in the dishwasher, but
we still recommend hand washing for longer protection (durability) of the non-stick surface.
Wash these parts under warm running water with the addition of neutral kitchen detergent. Then
rinse them with clean water and wipe them dry thoroughly.
Do not use sharp or metal objects or any abrasive cleaning materials to preserve the non-stick
coating of the inner food basket for as long as possible.
NOTE: NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
Protection against overheating
If the appliance overheats, it switches off automatically. Allow the appliance to cool down before using
it again.
STORAGE
If you will not be using the appliance for a long time, all of the water must be drained from the water
reservoir and the condensation tray. Clean the water reservoir thoroughly before using the appliance
again. Store the appliance and all its accessories in a clean, dry place out of reach of children and
animals.
