Scale Removal; Storage - Silvercrest STK 650 A1 Bedienungsanleitung

• regular use of the Tea Automat could perhaps
cause it take on aromas from strongly aromatic
teas and pass them to other tea sorts.
Clean the glass pot 3 of the Tea Automat with a
moist cloth. For stubborn soiling use a mild detergent
on the cloth. Rinse the glass pot 3 afterwards with
copious amounts of clear water to remove all deter-
gent residues. The recess on the bottom of the glass
pot 3 can easily be cleaned using a washing-up
brush.
Attention:
Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemical or caustic
detergents. These could irreparably damage the
appliance!
Clean the brew system with warm water and a liquid
detergent:
You can clean the brew chamber 0 and the sieve w
with a washing-up brush. Clean the riser tube q with
the aid of the riser tube brush 9.
After cleaning it, rinse the entire brewing system well
with clear water to ensure that no detergent residues
remain on or in it.

Scale removal

The mineral content (hardness) in the water causes,
over a period of time, a calcification of the appliance.
This calcification impairs the appliance in its function,
diminishes the quality of the brewed tea and
increases the energy consumption.
Note:
Enquire at your local waterworks about the hardness
level of your mains water. The need for decalcification
comes early in hard water areas, somewhat later
in soft water areas. Use a decalcifier designed for
household appliances and pay heed to the usage
instructions.
1. Use a standard household descaling agent based
on citric acid. Follow the preparation instructions
on the packaging of the descaler.
2. Place the brew system in the glass pot 3.
3. Tip the descaler solution into the glass pot 3.
Never pour in more liquid than to the MAX mar-
king, and never less than to the MIN marking.
4. Wait for 10 minutes and then switch the
appliance on.
5. Allow the solution to boil and wait until it has
passed through the brew system.
6. Should it be necessary, repeat the process.
You can use the descaler solution once again;
however, first let it cool down.
7. When the scale has dissolved, allow 2 - 3 fillings
of clear water to boil and then flow through the
brewing system.
8. Afterwards, clean the glass pot 3 and the
brewing system as described in chapter,
"Cleaning and Care".
