CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning!!
Before performing the following cleaning/
maintenance operations, always switch
off the appliance, unplug the power cable
(K) from the socket and allow the unit to
completely cool, including the lid (E) and the
steam duct.
Cleaning of the water tank, the heating
tank and lid
During normal use of the appliance, due to
salts in the water, scale deposits may form
on the steam duct (J) and in the heating tank
(I). These deposits could form fairly quickly
according to the type of water, its hardness
and frequency of use of the appliance. The
higher the water hardness, the faster the
formation of deposits. Deposits decrease
performance and may impede normal
operation of the appliance. As such decalcify
at least once a week as follows:
1. Remove the lid (E) using the holding points (F).
2. Inside the tank, remove the cover of the
steam duct (J) and extract the latter from
its seat by turning it clockwise (Fig. 6).
3. Refill the tank with cold drinking water.
4. Rinse several times, allowing the water to
drain from the drain point on the side of
the appliance (L), taking care not to wet
the power cable (K) and the on/off switch
(A) (Fig. 7).
5. Clean the heating unit (supply channel,
heating tank and resistance) (I) located at
the centre of the water tank, removing the
calcium deposits.
6. After having removed any residual water,
pour about 2 litres of a solution made up of
equal parts water and white wine vinegar
into the water tank. Reposition the lid (E)
on the water tank (C) and wait about 4
hours. Then gently shake the appliance for
a few minutes and remove any residues of
calcium with a cloth. Rinse the water tank
(C) several times with drinking water, the
lid (E) and in particular the steam duct (J),
its cover (J) and the heating tank (I). Allow
to drain and dry thoroughly with a soft
