the instructions.

7. CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR
COFFEE MACHINE
IMPORTANT: always make sure that your
coffee machine is disconnected and the
hotplate is cold before cleaning it. In order
to avoid an electric shock, do not place the
appliance near a power point nor immerse
the coffee machine in water or any other
liquid.
1. The surface of the coffee machine may
be cleaned with a damp, clean cloth.
2. The jug, the jug lid and the filter support
may be washed in hot water or placed in
the upper part of the dishwasher but do
not put other parts in the dishwasher.
3. Linted cotton cloths must not be used to
clean the surface of the water tank as
the lint is likely to block the coffee
machine.
4. To clean stubborn grease marks, use
nylon and plastic cleaning cloths without
rubbing. Do not use metal scourers for
this purpose.
Do not immerse the appliance in water
nor rinse it under the tap.

8. REMOVING LIMESCALE

Depending on how hard your water is and
how often you use your coffee machine, it is
possible that the pipes may gradually
become blocked due to the lime content in
the water. This is noticeable when the
filtering process lasts longer than usual. To
avoid this, it is necessary to remove
limescale from the coffee machine. For this
purpose you may use products specifically
designed to remove limescale from coffee
machines, which you will find on the market,
or otherwise follow these steps:
1. Fill the jug with one-part vinegar and
three parts water.
2. Pour the vinegar and water mix into the
tank and operate the coffee machine.
Wait for all of the solution to pass into
the jug.
3. Repeat this operation two or three times,
according to how much limescale there is.
