MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT: The warranty is voided if no
de-scaling is carried out or this is not carried out in
accordance with the operating instructions.
1. De-Scaling The Programmable +
To guarantee that the Programmable + works
correctly, you have to ensure that the machine
is kept free of lime-scale. The optimum cycle is
dependent on the hardness of the water which is
different from country to country. We would advise
de-scaling the machine after every 30 uses.
IMPORTANT: If you do not de-scale the
Programmable + then this can lead to damage!
Regular de-scaling can increase the service
life of the product and guarantees its faultless
functionality. Furthermore, regular de-scaling will
result in less steam forming, faster brewing times
and energy savings.
Deposits should be removed with a commercially
available de-scaling solution for coffee machines
or with a solution of vinegar and water (20%
vinegar and 80% water). When using commercially
available de-scaling solutions ensure that these
are suitable for use with heating elements made
of copper as well as silicone materials. (Carefully
check the specifications and dosage instructions
of the manufacturer). Fill the water tank (2) with
descaling solution or a vinegar and water solution
(do not fill above the MAX line) and place the
shower head (5), filter holder (6), coffee filter (7)
(without ground coffee) and the glass jug (9) into
their intended positions in the appliance.
ATTENTION! During the cleaning process more
steam will occur than during the normal brewing.
