• When descaling the appliance, it is advisable to wear safety glasses and protective

gloves.

• Flush the appliance at least twice after descaling it.

• Wash your hands thoroughly after descaling the appliance.

• The plug must be taken out of the socket if the appliance has to be opened for

these safety instructions.

2.2 Safeguards

The appliance is fitted with the following safeguards:

2.2.1 Dry-boil protection (14)

This application is equipped with a dry-boil protection. This protection triggers if the

heating element overheats owing to a fault. Once the fault has been resolved, the dry-boil

protection can be reset at the back of the appliance. The most common cause of the dry-

boil protection being triggered is not descaling the heating system in time.

If the heating system does not switch back on, proceed as follows:

• Allow the appliance to cool down.

• Unscrew the protective cap, which can be found on the back of the appliance.

• Press the button which is now visible and firmly screw the protective cap back on.

If the dry-boil protection triggers owing to increased scale deposits, descale the appliance.

Consult your dealer if the fault was caused by a problem other than the dry-boil protection

being triggered.

2.2.2 On/off switch (1)

The on/off switch is used to switch the appliance on and off. Remember that the appliance

can still be live after switching it off! For this reason you should always remove the plug

from the socket to render the appliance voltage-free.
