Wait until the water reservoir has cooled com- pletely before fi lling / emptying it. ■ Pour no more than 250 ml (note the max marking) of water into the water reservoir. The device can be operated with both tap water and distilled water. However, if you use tap water, the device will need to be regularly descaled (see the "Clean- ing and Storage" chapter, "Descaling" section). If you use distilled water, there is no need to descale the device.

1. Fill the measuring cup up to the MAX marking with water.

2. Pull the water reservoir cap (4) out of the water reservoir (5) Please note that it can-

not be completely detached from the device.

3. Pour the water from the measuring cup into the water reservoir. Here too you should

only pour up to the max marking.
