Cleaning and maintenance
Remove the mains plug and allow the device to cool down. Do not
immerse the device in water, but rather clean them with a damp cloth
with a little washing-up fluid and then dry off.
Do not use any sharp and abrasive cleaning agents.
The pot is made of stainless steel. Should rust spots nevertheless
appear, they are only deposits adhered to the surface. They should be
removed immediately with a stainless steel cleanser.
The strainer insert in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning
when the lid is open. To do so, press its upper clip upward. When
inserting, place the strainer in the middle of the base and then snap it
forward into place.
Descaling
Limescale deposits lead to losses of energy and impair the service life
of the device. It shuts off prematurely if the limescale layer is too
thick. It can then only be removed with great difficulty. Therefore
descale regularly.
We recommend using durgol
non-abrasive.
You can find this where the device was purchased, in select speciality
stores or you can order it directly from wmf consumer electric.
Prior to descaling, unplug the device and allow it to cool. Fill with 1
to 2 cups of durgol universal and leave the device until the limescale
®
layer on the bottom is removed. Then fill the device with cold tap
water to cover the limescale ring on the wall and allow to stand for 15
minutes. Then pour out and thoroughly rinse with cold tap water.
Do not heat the solution during descaling.
Attention: there is no claim under warranty for damages caused by not
observing the descaling instructions.
