Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
• Switch off and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
• Allow to cool before wiping exterior surfaces and removing any loose debris.
• Empty the main body before cleaning.
• Remove the lid, rack and base plate. Clean the parts with warm soapy water.
Maintenance
• Ensure to locate the unit on a flat surface after cleaning.
• During cleaning, do not damage the interior components. Should any damage occur, call BUFFALO
agent or qualified technician. Do not attempt any unauthorized repairs to avoid accidents.
• Always use fresh water. If the water is reused many times, mineral substances may adhere to the
surface of the components, thus influence the appliance’s performance.
De-scaling
Why... Normally tap-water contains minerals. When water is heated to a certain temperature,
there will be scales accumulated on the heater or surface of the appliance, which will
affect its performance and contaminate the outlook as well.
When... We suggest cleaning the machine after every 20 times of use, or when accumulated
working time amounts to 100 hours or less. Or you can clean your appliance at
different intervals as water quality varies in different places.
Preparation Food grade vinegar (e.g. white vinegar)
How... 1. Add water into the water bath up to the MAX marking. Then add 5g vinegar.
CAUTION: Should any vinegar splash onto your eyes, rinse immediately
with fresh water and turn to a doctor if needed!
2. Turn on the machine and set the working temperature to 80°C and working time to
3 hours (03:00). Now press to start cleaning. After 3 hours, the machine will
beep then turn off automatically.
3. Dispose of the solution of water and vinegar properly. Do not use the same solution
for a second time. If the results are not satisfactory, repeat the above operations.
4. Clean the unit with fresh water thoroughly, then dry and store in a well-ventilated
place.
Note: Make sure to clean the water filters (located on the inner wall) well. The filters
can be screwed off for thorough cleaning.
IMPORTANT: Failure to descale or maintain will invalidate your guarantee.
