Frequently Asked Questions - RT 350 Rommelsbacher

How to use the RT 350 immersion heater correctly?

Always place the immersion heater in the water before plugging it in. Use a narrow, heat-resistant container with a capacity of 0.25 liters. Fill with water up to the MAX level (95 mm) without exceeding. Plug into a grounded outlet. After use, unplug and wait 15 seconds before removing the appliance from the liquid.

Can I heat liquids other than water?

No, this appliance is designed only for heating water. Do not use it for oils or other liquids, as this could damage the appliance and void the warranty.

How to clean the immersion heater?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool completely. Clean it with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products or harsh cleaners.

How to descale the appliance?

To remove limescale, use a mixture of water and vinegar or a usual descaling agent. Boil the solution in the appliance, then rinse thoroughly. Regular descaling extends the service life and prevents overheating.

What to do if the appliance no longer heats?

First check that the appliance is properly plugged in and the outlet works. Ensure the water level is sufficient. If the appliance has been operated dry, the overheat protection may have permanently disabled the appliance; in this case, it cannot be repaired.

Can I use the appliance without water?

No, this is strictly prohibited. The appliance must always be immersed in water before plugging it in. Dry operation causes overheating and irreversibly destroys the appliance, voiding the warranty.

The immersion heater turned off by itself, what to do?

This is likely due to the overheat protection if the appliance was used without water or with too little water. In this case, the appliance is permanently out of service and must be replaced.

What type of container should I use?

Use a narrow, heat-resistant container with a capacity of 0.25 liters (0.2 liters with the accessory glass). Place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface. The water level should be between the MIN (70 mm) and MAX (95 mm) marks.

How to know if the appliance is overheating?

If the appliance heats abnormally or shuts off abruptly, this may indicate overheating. The surfaces become very hot. Darkening or blue discoloration of the heating element is a sign of overheating due to lack of water; in this case, the appliance is out of service.

Is the appliance guaranteed against limescale damage?

No, the warranty does not cover damage caused by limescale. It is essential to regularly descale the appliance to prevent overheating and maintain the warranty.

• Place the container on a heat resistant insulating pad (e.g. a ceramic tile) to avoid heat transfer to the worktop.
• Before using the appliance for the first time and as well after having decalcified it, we recommend to boil clear water with the immersion heater for first times and not to use this water. This is especially important for persons suffering from an allergy.
• The marks indicated on the immersion heater show the maximum and minimum water level. The water level must not exceed or fall below these marks as otherwise the appliance will be destroyed and there is no right to claim under warranty!
• The immersion coil heater is equipped with an overheating protection which, in order to protect the user, switches off forever in case of dry use.
• Should the immersion heater show a dark or bluish colour, there is no right to claim under guarantee! In this case the immersion heater was used without or with an insufficient quantity of water.

Cleaning and maintenance

ATTENTION: Hazard of injury and burns! Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance and let it cool down!

There is no need for a special cleaning and maintenance. If required, the appliance can be wiped with a moist cloth.

Descaling

Depending on the water hardness, lime scale might form around the heating coil. It must be removed from time to time by heating some water with vinegar or by using a customary descaling agent. This will save energy, grant full heating power and a long life-time as well. Thick lime scale might cause an overheating of the appliance. Damages caused by lime scale are not covered by the warranty. This is why a regular descaling is recommended.

Please observe the country-specific disposal regulations!
