cleaning & maintenance
We advise to clean the coffeepadmachine on a regular bases.
Regular cleaning will prolong the life of your appliance and will
guarantee optimal brewing results.
Before cleaning always unplug the appliance and let it cool down
completely.
CLEANING
Clean the outside of the coffeepadmachine with a soft damp
cloth. Clean the separate parts such as both coffeepadholders,
the coffeeoutlet, the driptray and the grid with warm soapy
water. Dry the parts thoroughly.
Never use any aggressive or abrasives cleaning agents or sharp
objects that could damage the appliance! Never immerse the
appliance, the power cord or plug in water or other liquids.
If you haven't used the coffeepadmachine for a while, for
instance if you have been away on a holiday, you should
remove all the separate parts for cleaning and rinse the
coffeepadmachine with fresh water. Place the cleaned parts in
the machine. This prevents an additional taste.
DESCALING
We advise to descale your coffeepadmachine on a regular
bases. The period depends on the condition of your
water and the frequency of use. We advise to descale the
coffeepadmachine approx. every three months. You can use a
special descaling product for coffeepadmachines.
When you use a descalingproduct especially for
coffeepadmachines, you will have to follow the instructions on
the package of the descaling product accordingly.
• Switch the coffeepadmachine off by pressing the ON/OFF
button.
• Fill the water reservoir according the instructions on the
package of the descaling product.
• Place a large mug or bowl under the coffeeoutlet to collect
the descaling mixture.
• Open the lid and place a new or used coffeepad. The
coffeepadmachine will be better descaled when you do this
and it cannot be clogged with descalingbits.
• Close the lid and switch the coffeepadmachine on with the
ON/OFF button.
• Press the button for 1 or 2 CUPS. Repeat this until the water
reservoir with the descaling mixture is empty.
• Rinse out the water reservoir and rinse the
coffeepadmachine by filling the water reservoir with clean
water and keep pressing the button for 1 or 2 CUPS until there
is no residue left of the descaling mixture to avoid a bad taste
to the coffee.
Never descale the coffeepadmachine with vinegar or a descaler
made with mineral acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid
or acetic acid. These products can damage the internal parts of
your coffeepadmachine and cause leakage.
Not descaling regularly of the coffeepadmachine can cause
damage to your appliance and create excessing steam caused
by limescale.
