Why does the appliance start to heat up immediately when I plug it in?

Published on 2018-04-09
  • You have pressed the power-on button (unintentionally) before you plugged in the appliance
  • When you press the power-on button before you put the plug in the wall socket, the steriliser starts operating immediately when you plug it in

Warning: The appliance becomes extremely hot during sterilisation and may cause burns if it is touched.

  • Therefore always check if the sterilising light lights up. This is an indication that the appliance is already operating.

The information on this page applies to the following models: SCF286/01 , SCF284/03 , SCF285/01 .
