4/ CARING FOR AND CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

A. Cleaning the coffee maker
• Before cleaning the coffee maker, turn it off, unplug the coffee maker and wait for it to cool down.
• Clean the hot plate with a cloth which has been moistened with soapy water.
To remove the lid from the jug, push the hinge part of the lid to one side.
Turn and lift the other side, the pin will spring out of the hinge and you will be able to remove the lid.
• Wash the filter holder, the jug and the jug lid in soapy water or in the dishwasher, rinse well and dry
the parts before reassembling them.
To remove stains from the jug, rub with bicarbonate of soda or a soft cloth. For stubborn
stains, fill the jug with hot water; add 2 spoonfuls of dishwasher detergent and leave to soak
for several hours.
• Wash and rinse the jug well.
• Clean the outside of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.
Do not use detergents or abrasive products to clean the coffee maker.
Do not immerse the appliance in water or in any other liquid.
B. Descaling the coffee maker
Depending on the hardness of the water and how often you use the appliance, the channels may
become blocked, due to the content of lime scale in the water. A sign of this is when the filtering
process takes longer than normal. To prevent this, proceed as follows:
• Fill the reservoir with one part vinegar and three parts water.
• Plug in the coffee maker and operate it.
• After 30 seconds, turn the coffee maker off.
• Wait for 30 minutes to allow the vinegar to perform its cleaning action and turn the coffee maker on
again.
• Once the coffee-making cycle has finished, turn the coffee maker off.
• Repeat this operation 2 or 3 times, depending on the amount of lime scale.
• Once the coffee maker has been descaled, operate it 2 or 3 times with water only, to remove any
remaining vinegar.
