6. Cleaning and descaling
WARNING!
Disconnect the device from the power supply
(unplug!) before cleaning. Let the device cool down.
Never clean the device with use of water jet!
Be careful and do not let the water into the device.
o The device should be cleaned regularly.
o The surface of the device should be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tenacious stains
a mild detergent can be used. Do not use any sprays or aggressive detergents.
o Clean the device thoroughly inside and rinse it with clean water.
o Only use a soft cloth and make sure you never use any kind of abrasive agents or
pads which could scratch the surface.
o Do not use steel wool for cleaning purposes. Parts of the steel wool can loosen
and settle in the stop valve and lead to damages of the seal faces.
o If the device is used daily the whole faucet mechanism has to be cleaned once a
week. If the device is used less often, it may be cleaned less frequently. For
cleaning the faucet bonnet unscrew bonnet, remove silicone seat cup and wash
the parts in warm soapy water. Clean the inside of the faucet and the connection
to the device by using a small bottle brush.
CAUTION!
Never insert the brush in the assembled faucet since it will puncture
the seat cup.
o Never use any kind of inflammables for cleaning purposes as, in case of
reconnection, this increases the risk of fire and explosion.
