Cleaning
1 Unplug the appliance.
2 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth.
Never immerse the appliance in water!
3 Clean the separate parts (drip tray, filter holder and permanent
filter, if any) in warm water with some washing-up liquid or in
the dishwasher.
Descaling
Regular descaling will prolong the life of your appliance and will
guarantee optimal brewing results for a long time.
In case of normal use, descale the appliance:
- 2 or 3 times a year if you are using soft water (up to 18 dH);
- 4 or 5 times a year if you are using hard water (over 18 dH).
Turn to your local water board for information about the water
hardness in your area.
1 Fill the water tank with white vinegar (4% acetic acid). Do not
put a filter or coffee in the filter holder.
2 Let the appliance run twice.
You can use the same vinegar for both runs.
3 Let the appliance complete two more runs with fresh, cold
water to remove any vinegar and scale residues.
4 Clean the separate parts (see chapter 'Cleaning').
You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In that case, follow the
B
instructions on the package of the descaler.
