Warning: ensure the appliance is cooled down completely before emptying,
cleaning or storing.
After use
1. Switch the cleaner off and unplug from the mains power supply. Wait until the cleaner has cooled
down completely.
Only clean the appliance by wiping over the housing with a slightly moistened cloth. Do not use any
cleaning agents, abrasives or alcohol as they may damage the housing. It is recommended to rinse
the tank after approximately 5 uses
Fill the water tank with water and shake vigorously to clean it. This will loosen any lime scale that
has been deposited on the bottom of the water tank. Pour out the water and allow the tank to
dry completely before replacing the filler cap tightly. The water tank should be treated with lime
scale remover approx. every 6 months to prolong the life of the cleaner. Place one or at most
two lime scale removal sticks in 1 litre of warm water (50 °C) and fill the water tank with the
solution. Allow the solution to work for approx. 30 minutes and then pour away the water with
the dissolved solids. Repeat this process if necessary and then rinse out the tank with water.
