When the coffee machine is not being used for a longer period of time, you must first release the steam in the appliance. This is
done as follows:
1. Check that the steam controller is switched off (turned upwards). Switch on the appliance and wait until the indicator lights
remain on. Press the steam button and wait until the indicator light remains on.
2. Turn the steam pipe away from the appliance, use the provided handle for this. Hold a cup under the steam pipe to collect
any water that is released.
Warning: The steam pipe becomes hot, only grab it by means of the supplied handle.
3. Press the steam button and then slowly turn the steam controller, after which the steam sprays out of the steam pipe. Allow
the steam to be released for 3 minutes.
Warning: Never turn the steam controller too quickly, too much steam could be created too quickly otherwise, which in rare
cases could lead to an explosion.
4. Then turn the steam controller closed again (turned upwards) and press the steam button to turn it off. Allow the appliance
to cool down and remove the plug from the socket.
Caution! Avoid contact with the steam, this could result in personal injury!
Store the appliance on a dry location at a temperature that is higher than 0 °C.
Regularly de-scale your coffee machine. The de-scaling intervals depend on the hardness of the mains water and the frequency
at which the coffee machine is being used. We recommend de-scaling the coffee machine every 2-3 months. Due to scaling,
the heating element can become obstructed. This causes overheating, as a result of which the coffee machine is switched off
automatically as a safety precaution and will no longer function. The coffee machine will have to be repaired. You can de-scale
the coffee machine with a special de-scaling agent for coffee machines or with kitchen grade vinegar.
If you use a special de-scaling agent for coffee machines, you must observe the instructions on the packaging of this agent.
When using kitchen grade vinegar, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the appliance by pressing the on/off button and remove any remaining water from the water reservoir.
2. Fill the water reservoir with clean, cold water and cold kitchen grade vinegar up to the MAX mark. The water and kitchen
grade vinegar ratio should be 4:1.
the cup grille.
3. Check that the steam controller is switched off (turned upwards) and switch on the appliance.
4. Press the coffee button when the indicator light next to the button remains on. Allow the water to flow until your cup is full.
Press the coffee button once more to stop the coffee making process and remove the water from the cup.
5. Repeat step 4 once and then wait 5 seconds.
6. Press the steam button and wait until the indicator light remains on. Make steam for 2 minutes by slowly turning the steam
controller. Hold a cup under the steam pipe to collect any water that is released. Turn the steam controller upwards again
and press the steam button once more to switch it off.
7. Switch off the appliance. Wait at least 15 minutes and then switch the appliance back on. As a result the scale will be
softened and removed.
8. Wait until the indicator lights remain on and allow the appliance to run until the water reservoir is empty. The de-scaling
process has been completed. Empty the cup and the removable leak tray to remove any water.
9. After de-scaling, allow a full reservoir of cold water to flow through the appliance at least 3 times, to remove all de-scaling
liquid and vinegar residues and thus prevent a sour taste in the coffee. Repeat all above-mentioned steps, only now do not
add kitchen grade vinegar to the water. It is not necessary to wait 15 minutes at point 7.
Caution! If the coffee machine has not been used for some time, e.g. due to vacation, it is recommended to remove and clean
all separate components. Then place the cleaned separate components back on their place and allow the coffee machine to
make one run with clean water. In this way you will prevent a possible foreign taste.
