Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Discard any remaining water from the reservoir. Wash the lid, bottle rack, and accessory tray in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry. Wipe the base unit with a damp cloth.
• Descaling: Mineral deposits (limescale) may build up on the heating plate over time, especially if tap water is used. To descale, mix 50ml of white vinegar with 100ml of water. Pour the solution into the water reservoir and let it stand for 30 minutes. Do not turn on the unit. Pour out the solution and rinse the heating plate thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary.
• Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
