Cleaning

Dismantling the scale collector foil
1. Loosen the steam cylinder strainer (press snap locks), then carefully remove the
strainer to the top.
2. Detach foil by light rotary motions and remove from above.
Cleaning the steam cylinder/scale collector foil
• Tap off the scale coating from the scale collector foil.
• Wash steam cylinder, steam cylinder strainer and scale collector foil with
lukewarm soap suds and then rinse off well.
Note: If the components are heavily scaled, place them in 8-percent formic acid
until the scale has dissolved. Then treat components as previously described.
Cleaning the heating elements
• Immerse cover with heating elements fitted to 2 cm below the rim of the cover
in a container with 8-percent formic acid. Allow the acid to take effect until the
scale coating has dissolved.
Note: The heating elements do not have to be entirely free from scale.
• Then rinse heating elements thoroughly with fresh water.
Notes:
Warning! Ensure that the electrical connections remain dry.
-
- Warning! On no account remove scale coating on the heating elements with
tools (screwdriver, scraper, etc.) or by striking. This could damage the heating
elements.
Cleaning the interior of the unit
• Wipe down components inside the unit with a damp cloth (clean water).
Warning! Ensure that the electrical connections and electronic components
remain dry.
Notes on cleaning agents
- Dilute formic acid is obtainable from any chemist's shop or drugstore.
Warning! Formic acid is indeed harmless to the skin, but it attacks the mucous
membranes. Protect the eyes and respiratory tracts therefore from contact with
the acid and its vapour (wear goggles and work in a well ventilated room or
outside).
- The use of disinfectants is only permitted if they leave no toxic residues. The
components must be rinsed thoroughly with water after cleaning in all cases.
- Warning! Do not use any solvents or other aggressive substances for cleaning.
