Cleaning and care

Cleaning
Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.
Do not immerse the appliance in water, but instead just use a damp cloth and a
little washing-up liquid to clean its exterior.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
Remove the filter and the sealing ring from underneath the jug by inserting a
spoon handle under the sealing ring and levering it off.
After cleaning, place the filter back in position, then reinsert the sealing ring.
The jug, filter basket and adapter can be rinsed off under running water.
In order to ensure the long-term functioning of the pressure relief valve, use your
finger to push the plunger slightly outwards from the inside each time you clean
the machine.
Descaling agent
We recommend using Cromargol®. This product is highly effective, food safe and
neutral in taste and smell. Thanks to its special care formula with six high-quality
and protective additives, Cromargol® is also very gentle on materials.
You can usually purchase Cromargol® from the store where you purchased your
appliance or from your chosen dealer.
You can also use a commercially available descaling agent that is suitable for
stainless steel.
Do not use vinegar or vinegar concentrate because this can damage the
materials in the appliance.
When using descalers based on citric acids, precipitates could form during
descaling and seal the limescale layer, thus making it even harder to remove.
Descaling using citric acid is very slow.
Damage caused by the use of an unsuitable descaling agent or through non-
compliance with the descaling instructions is not covered by our warranty claim.
Handle the descaling agent carefully to ensure that no furniture or clothing
is damaged.
Descaling
▪ Prior to descaling, unplug the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool
down.
▪ Pour half a measure (50 ml) of Cromargol® into the water reservoir and leave
the appliance to stand until the layer of limescale has detached from the base.
Then fill the reservoir with cold tap water to cover the limescale ring on the
inner wall and leave to stand for 15 minutes.
▪ Then pour out the water and rinse thoroughly with cold tap water.
▪ Measure out and use other descaling agents in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not heat the solution during descaling.
Caution: the warranty does not cover damage caused by failure to observe the
descaling instructions.
