Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
IMPORTANT! Before cleaning, make sure to dis-
connect the appliance form the electrical power
outlet and let it cool down completely.
It is important to clean the appliance and parts
after using. The best way to clean grime or de-
Descaling
Note: Descale the coffee machine regularly. The
intervals depend mainly on frequency of use &
the quality of the water.
After some time limestone deposits will build up
on the heating element. To keep the appliance in
optimum condition and to ensure that your cof-
fee retains its delicious flavour, we recommend
that you de-scale the appliance on a regular ba-
sis.
• To de-scale use a de-scaling agent that is suit-
able for coffee makers. You can also use pure
lemon juice, citric acid or cleaning vinegar as
a de-scaling agent. To ensure the proper mix-
ture, read the instructions supplied with the
agent. For pure lemon juice or cleaning vine-
gar the general mixture applies of 1/3 cleaning
vinegar or lemon juice to 2/3 water.
• Place the filter pan in the holder.
• Place an empty coffee pot under the filter pan.
• Pour the water with the solution in the water
reservoir.
Regular maintenance
For the best coffee result and the extension of
the life span of the coffee maker, is it better to
avoid the red light on the front from lighting up
(this means de-scaling needs to be done). You
should use (just as with de-scaling) a de-scaling
agent for coffee makers or pure lemon juice, cit-
ric acid or cleaning vinegar. To ensure the proper
mixture, read the instructions supplied with the
agent. For pure lemon juice or cleaning vinegar
the general mixture applies of 1/3 cleaning vine-
gar or lemon juice to 2/3 water.
• Place an empty coffee pot under the filter pan.
Note: Warranty is void if failure to de-scale regularly leads to reduced functioning or failure of the
appliance.
posits from the appliance, filter pan, pot or water
tubes is with a soft, wet cloth and a mild cleaner
if necessary (never use a product that is corro-
sive or abrasive).
• Turn the power switch ON.
• The water that is still in the appliance will now
pass through it. As soon as the solution begins
to flow through the appliance, turn it off.
• Wait 5-6 minutes to give the solution time to
break down the calcium in the appliance. Turn
the appliance on again so the solution (now
containing the calcium deposits) can pass
through it.
• When all of the solution has passed through
the appliance, turn the appliance off and throw
the solution away.
• Pour clean water in the water reservoir and al-
low it to flow through the appliance (see steps
1 to 7 of Preparing the appliance for use) until
the smell and taste of the solution are com-
pletely gone.
• The appliance can now be used again.
• Pour the water with the solution in the water
reservoir.
• Turn the power switch ON.
• When all of the solution has passed through
the appliance, turn the appliance off and throw
the solution away.
