0 Only clean the appliance using a damp
cloth; never immerse it in water. Only
the coffee jug and jug lid are dish-
washer safe.
Coffee grinder
From time to time (at the latest when a
blockage occurs), it is necessary to
clean the grinder channel to free it
from oily coffee residues.
To do this, proceed as follows:
0 Remove the plug from the mains.
0 Using a pointed object (e.g. a ball pen)
unlock the cover of the grinding chan-
nel (Figure 1/G and Figure 14) and pull
the cover towards the front.
0 Swing out the water supply (Figure
1/D) using the swivel lever (Figure 1/H)
until it engages (Figure 9).
0 Insert a paper filter in the swivel filter.
0 Brush the coffee residue (including
that from the rear of the channel) into
the paper filter using a suitable item
(e.g., paintbrush) (Figure 15). The cof-
fee residue can also be removed using
a vacuum cleaner.
0 Then wipe the grinding channel with a
dry cloth.
0 Empty the paper filter.
0 Press the release lever (Figure 1/C) to
return the water supply to the brewing
position (Figure 10).
0 Push the cover of the grinding channel
(Figure 1/G and Figure 14) back on
until it engages. When doing so, press
the catch down with your finger. Check
that the cover is correctly positioned.
Your coffee machine is now fully ready
for use again.
3 If dark, oily coffee beans are used, the
grinding channel needs to be cleaned
more often than for light beans.
To avoid blockages in the grinding
channel:
• Do not use frozen coffee beans, as
water condenses on them on defrost-
ing and can lead to blockages.
• Position the appliance sufficiently far
away from the cooker or a deep fat
fryer as fat can cause a blockage.
• Always keep the container for the cof-
fee beans closed.
0 Every now and again clean the coffee
grinder (Figure 1/E) of oily residues
from the coffee beans using a dry
cloth.
Descaling - to prolong the life of
your coffee machine
As a precaution we recommend descal-
ing every three months. If you are
using a gold filter, remove it from the
filter insert before descaling. Use only
an environmentally friendly descaling
agent and always follow the manufac-
turer's instructions. Do not use any
descaler based on formic acid. Nor
should you use a powder descaling
agent.
First fill the fresh water container with
1
water and then add the descaling
agent. Never vice versa.
0 Place the coffee jug with lid on the
warming plate.
0 Allow the descaling solution to work
for approximately 15 minutes, then
switch on the appliance.
0 Once the descaling solution has perco-
lated through, switch the appliance
off.
3 If necessary, repeat the descaling pro-
cedure.
0 Then repeat the procedure at least
twice using clear water.
0 Rinse the coffee jug, jug lid and filter
insert thoroughly under running water.
Activate the anti-drip valve several
times as it is rinsed.
Important
• If the water supply has been inadvert-
ently swung out, use the release lever
(Figure 1/C), to swing it back in posi-
tion (Figure 10).
