• Regularly clean the outside of the appliance and the hot plate with a slightly damp cloth and then wipe it dry with
a dry cloth
• Place back all components correctly in the appliance.
Warning:
• Never use aggressive and/or abrasive cleaning agents when cleaning.
• Never submerge the appliance, cord or plug in water.
• The grinding system in the coffee bean holder is very sharp. Avoid touching it.
Regularly de-scale your coffee machine. The de-scaling intervals depend on the hardness of the mains water and the
frequency at which the coffee machine is being used. Due to scaling, the heating element can become obstructed. This causes
overheating, as a result of which the coffee machine is switched off automatically as a safety precaution and will no longer
function. The coffee machine will have to be repaired.
We recommend de-scaling the appliance after making coffee 60 times. You can de-scale the coffee machine with a special
de-scaling agent for coffee machines or with kitchen grade vinegar. If you use a special de-scaling agent for coffee machines,
you must observe the instructions on the packaging of this agent.
When using kitchen grade vinegar, proceed as follows:
1. Place the permanent filter or empty filter bag in the filter holder and make sure all loose parts are placed in the appliance
correctly. Fill the water reservoir with clean, cold water and cold kitchen grade vinegar up to the MAX 10 mark. The water
and kitchen grade vinegar ratio should be 4 : 1.
2. Insert the plug into the socket. Press the [GRIND OFF] button and start the appliance by pressing the [START/STOP] button.
3. Press the [START/STOP] button once more to pause the appliance when 2 to 4 cups of water with de-scaling agent have
ended up in the glass jug.
4. Leave the appliance for 15 minutes to allow the de-scaling agent to do its work. Then press the [START/STOP] to allow the
remaining water to pass.
5. The de-scaling process has been completed when the water reservoir and coffee filter are empty. Empty the glass jug and
remove the permanent filter or filter bag from the filter holder.
6. After de-scaling, allow a full reservoir of cold water to flow through the appliance at least 3 times, to remove all de-scaling
liquid and vinegar residues and thus prevent a sour taste in the coffee.
Caution! If the coffee machine has not been used for some time, e.g. due to vacation, it is recommended to remove and clean
all separate components. Then place the cleaned separate components back on their place and allow the coffee machine
to make one run with clean water. In this way you will prevent a possible foreign taste.
TIPS FOR MAKING GOOD TASTING COFFEE
1. A clean coffee machine is essential for making delicious coffee. Regularly clean and de-scale the coffee machine,
as described in CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE and DE-SCALING.
2. Use cold and clean drinking water for making coffee.
3. Store coffee beans and extra-fine grind coffee on a cool and dry place. Close opened packages air-tight and store them
in the fridge.
4. The optimum coffee taste can be achieved by grinding fresh coffee beans just before you start making coffee.
