your appliance would not be switched off
automatically.
NOTE:
Do not boil the milk in the brewing pot.
If you boil the milk in the water tank, it sticks on
heating element and makes a black layer that
can only be cleaned by steel wool. This will
damage to your appliance. You could only make
Turkish coffee or boil the water with this appliance.
Never use any other liquid (rather than water
and Turkish coffee) for boiling.
Cleaning the appliance:
Cleaning the water tank: First off all, unplug the
appliance from the power socket. If you are
making Turkish coffee regularly, only cleaning
the water tank with water would be enough. If
the water tank gets dirty too much, you could
use washing-up liquid to clean the water tank.
If you would like to warm or boil the water after
you prepared Turkish coffee, for dissolving the
smell of coffee, you could use washing-up liquid
to clean the water tank and then shake it with
water.
While cleaning, do not immerse the power base
of the unit to the water. If the power base (that
has electrical circuits under itself) immerses to
the water, this will cause a risk of electrical shock
and damage on electrical circuits.
Even there is bi-metal saver to protect against
overheating, do not turn on your appliance while
there is no water inside.
CAUTION:
Do not ever wash your appliance
in to the dishwasher or under running water. You
could wash inside of the water tank under running
water. However do not ever immerse the power
base (that has electrical circuits under itself) of
the unit to the water. You could clean the body
surface of the unit with a damp cloth.
In a period of time, some calcification becomes
inside of the water tank of your appliance. This
is normal, the calcification within the water used
in the course of time accumulates on the heater
base and burns out and foams a brown layer
and then reduces the output of your heater. The
slight calcification can be easily cleaned with a
brush. You could clean the hard calcification
with sediments by means of calcification
removers which are sold for the household
appliances that can be purchased from the
market or vinegar. To clean with the white vinegar;
fill the water tank till max level with white vinegar
and wait for one hour, after that pour the white
vinegar and clean the water tank 2 or 3 times
with clean water. To clean with the calcification
remover; after boiling some water into the water
tank, add some calcification remover and mix it
with the boiled water. After waiting for a while,
boil the mixed water 2 or 3 minutes. Pour the mix
of calcification remover and boiled water and
clean the water tank with clean water 2 or 3
times.
