Interrupting / Ending Operation
There are two ways to interrupt or end the cooking process:
1. The appliance switches off automatically after the cook-
ing process. The control lamp goes out.
2. To end or interrupt the cooking cycle prematurely, set the
switch to the 0 position.
- Always switch off the appliance before removing
it from the base! The contacts on the base are not
suitable for disconnecting the power supply.
WARNING:
• Always switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug
from the socket before cleaning. Wait until the appliance has
cooled down.

uids. It could cause an electric shock or fire.

Filter
A permanent filter is located at the spout opening. To clean
the filter, pull it out with the lid open.

Cleaning
• The intervals for descaling depend on the hardness of
the water and the frequency of use.
• If the appliance switches off before the water boils,
descaling is necessary.
• Do not use vinegar, but a commercially available des-
caling agent based on citric acid. Dose according to the
instructions.
• After descaling, boil fresh water several times (approx.
3 to 4 times) to remove residues. Do not use this water
for consumption.
• Clean the appliance as described and allow it to dry
completely.
• We recommend storing the appliance in its original
packaging if you do not intend to use it for a long period
of time.
• Always store the appliance out of the reach of children in
a well-ventilated and dry place.
