■ Throw the coffee grounds and filter paper in the garbage. Figs 20b. and 21b.
■ Do not clean the machine if it is still hot.
■ Wash the removable filter holder and the permanent filter in warm soapy water. The carafe can go in the
dishwasher.
CAUTION: Do not place the carafe in the microwave.
Do not put other parts of the coffee maker into the dishwasher.
■ Clean the coffee maker with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive or strong products on any part
of the coffee maker.
■ To clean the stainless steel parts of your coffee maker, dampen a soft cloth or sponge with warm water.
Wipe carefully with a dry cloth.
■ For difficult stains, use a cloth with white vinegar.
■ Do not immerse the appliance in water or under the tap.

8. DESCALING

■ Why descale?
- Limestone forms naturally in your coffee maker. Descaling preserves the coffee maker and ensures it will last
longer and provide quality coffee over time. Limestone can permanently affect the machine's performance.
Malfunctions associated with scaling will not be covered by the warranty if the product is returned.
■ When to descale?
- When your machine needs descaling, the CLEAN button light will come on.
- The descaling frequency depends on the hardness of the water and the number of brew cycles. If you notice
the following signs: longer cycle time, excessive steaming, more noise at the end of the cycle, stopping mid-
cycle, this means your machine is scaled.
- Your coffee maker should be descaled around once a month depending on the hardness of the water.
- If your machine needs descaling, the CLEAN button (q) light will flash 3 times at the end of the cycle.
NB: If you press the BREW button (k) while the CLEAN button (q) light is on, the descaling cycle
will start instead of the brew cycle.
