Alternatively, you can use a household descaling agent or vinegar. Please
do not try to scratch off deposits from the membrane with a hard object. For
stubborn deposits, we recommend that you descale the device several times
in a row. After the descaling rinse the base and then dry thoroughly.
• No water may enter the air outlet opening (9). This will damage the appliance
and will void any claim to the warranty.
Repairs
• Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a qualified elec-
trical technician. If improper repairs are carried out, the warranty lapses and
all liability is refused.
• Never operate the appliance if the adaptor or plug is damaged, after it has
malfunctioned, if it has been dropped or has been damaged in any other way
(cracks/breaks in the casing).
• Do not push any object into the appliance.
• If the appliance is beyond repair, make it unusable immediately by cutting
through the cable and hand it in at the collection point provided for the pur-
pose.
• In the event of a repair, the following points must be observed before the
appliance is shipped or taken to the dealer: completely empty the water in the
appliance (water tray or water tank), and allow the appliance to dry complete-
ly. Appliances containing residual water may be damaged during transport,
invalidating the warranty.
