Maintenance
 Cleaning
It is important to clean the appliance and parts after using.
The best way to clean grime or deposits from the appliance, filter pan, pot or water tubes is with a
soft, wet cloth and a mild cleaner if necessary (never use a product that is corrosive or abrasive).
 Descaling
After some time limestone deposits will build up on the heating element. To keep the appliance in
optimum condition and to ensure that your coffee retains its delicious flavour, we recommend that
you de-scale the appliance on a regular basis. When the red warning light on the front of the machine
is lit, this indicates the appliance must be decalcified.
 To de-scale use a de-scaling agent that is suitable for coffee makers. You can also use pure
lemon juice, citric acid or cleaning vinegar as a de-scaling agent. To ensure the proper mixture,
read the instructions supplied with the agent. For pure lemon juice or cleaning vinegar the general
mixture applies of 1/3 cleaning vinegar or lemon juice to 2/3 water.

Place the filter pan in the holder.

Place an empty coffee pot under the filter pan.

Pour the water with the solution in the water reservoir.

Turn the power switch ON.

The water that is still in the appliance will now pass through it. As soon as the solution begins to
flow through the appliance, turn it off.

Wait 5-6 minutes to give the solution time to break down the calcium in the appliance. Turn the
appliance on again so the solution (now containing the calcium deposits) can pass through it.

When all of the solution has passed through the appliance, turn the appliance off and throw the
solution away.

Pour clean water in the water reservoir and allow it to flow through the appliance (see steps 1 to
7 of Preparing the appliance for use) until the smell and taste of the solution are completely
gone.

The appliance can now be used again.
 Regular maintenance
For the best coffee result and the extension of the life span of the coffee maker, is it better to avoid
the red light on the front from lighting up (this means de-scaling needs to be done). You should use
(just as with de-scaling) a de-scaling agent for coffee makers or pure lemon juice, citric acid or
cleaning vinegar. To ensure the proper mixture, read the instructions supplied with the agent. For
pure lemon juice or cleaning vinegar the general mixture applies of 1/3 cleaning vinegar or lemon
juice to 2/3 water.

Place an empty coffee pot under the filter pan.

Pour the water with the solution in the water reservoir.

Turn the power switch ON.

When all of the solution has passed through the appliance, turn the appliance off and throw the
solution away.

Pour clean water in the water reservoir and allow it to flow through the appliance (see steps 1 to
7 of Preparing the appliance for use) until the smell and taste of the solution are completely
gone.

The appliance can now be used again.
Note: Warranty is void if failure to de-scale regularly leads to reduced functioning or failure of the
appliance.
