Cleaning and maintenance
Remove the mains plug and allow the device to cool down. Do not immerse the device and base in
water, but rather clean them with a damp cloth with a little washing-up fluid and then dry off.
Do not use any sharp and abrasive cleaning agents.
The pot is made of stainless steel. Should rust spots nevertheless appear, they are only deposits
adhered to the surface. They should be removed immediately with a stainless steel cleanser.
The strainer insert in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning when the lid is open. To do so, pull
its clip upward. When inserting, place the strainer in the middle and then snap it forward into place.
Descaling
Limescale deposits lead to energy losses and impair the service life of the
appliance. The appliance switches off prematurely if the layer of limescale is
too thick. The limescale is then very difficult to remove. Therefore descale the
appliance regularly.
We recommend using Cromargol® kettle descaler. This product has been
designed specifically for descaling kettles and is extremely effective, food safe
and has a neutral smell and taste. Thanks to the special care formula with two
double additives, the Cromargol® kettle descaler does not damage the materials.
You can usually purchase Cromargol® from the store where you have purchased
your appliance or from your chosen dealer. The Cromargol® / Cromargol® water
kettle decalcifier is only available in Germany and Austria.
