perience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user main-
tenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Only connect the cable to alternating current. Observe the voltage informa-
tion given on the appliance.
• Do not use damaged extension cords.
• Do not run the power cord over sharp edges and make sure that it does not
get trapped.
• Do not pull the plug from the socket with wet hands or by holding on to the
power cord.
• Do not use the appliance in immediate vicinity of a bath tub, a shower or
a swimming pool (observe a minimum distance of 3 m). Place the appliance
such that a person in the bath tub cannot touch the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance near a heat source. Do not subject the power
cord to direct heat (such as a heated hotplate, open flames, hot iron sole
plates or heaters for example). Protect power cords from oil.
• See to it that the appliance is properly positioned to ensure a high stability
during its operation and make sure that no one can trip over the power cord.
• The appliance is not splash-proof.
• For indoor use only.
• Do not store the appliance outdoors.
• Store the appliance in a dry place inaccessible to children (pack the appli-
ance).
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a
repair shop authorized by the manufacturer or by similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
• Prior to any maintenance, cleaning and after each use, switch off the appli-
ance and unplug the mains cable from the socket.
• Prior to cleaning the interior of the appliance, make sure the appliance has
been off for at least 15 minutes!
• When the pre-heating is turned on, the water inside the appliance is heat-
ed: the water in the water tray (9) and the heating plate (17) become hot.
Avoid touching the water and the heating plate!
• Place the appliance out of reach of children, as the water inside the appli-
ance is heated up to 50 °C and the heating plate reaches hot temperatures
up to 75 °C.
Before setup: Anticalc cartridge and water hardness
The anticalc cartridge reduces the limescale in the water and the undesir-
able emission of limescale particles into the surroundings. Effective for one to
three months, depending on water hardness (see table).
Important: Soak the anticalc cartridge in a water bath for 24 hours before
the first use (not in the water tank!). The resin has to absorb water to reach
high performance.
The period of time that the cartridge is effective for depends on the hardness
of the water. This can be tested using the testing strips provided (testing strip
stuck to the Quick Setup Guide).
1. Dip the testing strips into the water for a second.
