Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning
Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.
Do not immerse the appliance in water, but instead just use a damp cloth and a
little washing-up liquid to clean its exterior.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The collection trays, steamer baskets, steam pipe, cooking bowl and lids can be
easily washed in the dishwasher.
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.
Prior to descaling, unplug the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool
down.
▪ Shake the bottle of Cromargol® before using it. Fill the water tank with one
portion (100 ml) of Cromargol® kettle descaler and leave for approximately
five minutes to take effect. Then fill the appliance with cold tap water to
cover the limescale ring on the wall and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
▪ Then pour out the water and thoroughly rinse with cold tap water.
▪ Measure out and use other descaling agents according to the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Do not heat the solution during descaling.
Caution: the warranty does not cover damage caused by failure to observe the
descaling instructions.
