CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug the appliance before cleaning. To protect against electrical
shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or any other liquid.
• Clean the funnel, filter, filter cover and carafe after each use in warm, soapy water.
• Wipe the coffee beans container and the exterior surface of the appliance with a soft,
damp cloth to remove stains.
• Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the warming plate. Never use abrasive cleaning
products to clean it.
CLEANING MINERAL DEPOSITS
• Fill the tank with water and descale to the MAX level (proportion of water and descale
is 4:1, for details please refer to the instructions of the descale. Please use "household
descale", you can also use citric acid instead of descale (100 parts of water for 3 parts
of citric acid).
• Press the
"ON/OFF" button once, the appliance will start brewing.
• Rinse by operating the appliance with clean water at least 3 times.
HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE
• A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the
coffee maker as specified in the "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" section. Always use
fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
• Store unused coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee
grounds, reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
• For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just
before brewing.
• Do not reuse coffee grounds since this will greatly reduce the coffee' flavour.
Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavour immediately
after brewing.
• Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the
surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee
grounds.
• Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
PRACTICAL HINTS
When you notice that the coffee making process is longer than it should be, it is probably
time to decalcify the appliance. Do not wait until the situation gets worse. The decalcifying
frequency depends on the amount of lime in the water and therefore can be different for
each user. Therefore it is important to pay attention to this. A good maintenance of your
appliance will prolong its lifespan. Guarantee claims will not be accepted for the
replacement of a heating element full of scale.
