Cleaning

Always unplug your appliance and leave it to completely cool down before cleaning it.

Never use abrasive sponges, solvents, scouring or caustic oven powder, which could seriously damage your product.

• External body: clean using a damp cloth, and dry properly.
  Tank: clean using a damp sponge.
• Clean all the other items in a dishwasher.

Scaling removal: After every tenth time you have used it, fill the tank with distilled vinegar diluted in water (1/3, 2/3). Leave it to act for an hour (cold) and then operate it without the baskets or the diffuser, but with the acceleration ring, for 10 to 15 minutes. Switch it off, unplug it and let it cool down completely before emptying out the diluted vinegar into the kitchen sink. Rinse several times using tap water.

Depending on the region where you live, the water will have a greater or lower level of calcium in it.

You may have to remove scaling more frequently, depending on the amount of calcium.

Be careful not to pour water on the electrical components. Never soak your appliance in water.
