9. The appliance has an overflow tube to allow extra water in the reservoir to escape, but since the
coffee pot can hold only 1.8 litres of water we recommend that you never fill the reservoir with
more than 1.8 litres of water.
10. When you wish you can put the filled coffee pot on the upper warming plate and use the second
coffee pot to execute step 1 till 8. Switch on the upper on/off switch for using the upper warming
plate (fig. 4).
11. Switch off the on/off switch (upper and/or lower according to the use) if you don't use the
appliance anymore.
After use
Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket.
Eventual residual water should be flushed through the sink.
Some water will always be left in the machine and in the tubes. If you do not use or move the
appliance for a long time, it is best to empty the appliance and clean it before storing it.
If you have emptied the appliance (as recommended above), before using it again you should
repeat steps 1-7 of First use.
If you haven't used the appliance for a short time, rinse it out with clean water before use.
Cleaning and maintenance
Always remove the plug from the socket before cleaning the appliance.
Beware: Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid!
Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth (water with mild detergent).
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, damp cloth and a mild cleaner if necessary (never use a product that is corrosive or
abrasive). Never use aggressive cleaning agents, caustic detergents, abrasives or chlorinated
cleaners. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects. Do not use petrol or solvents! Do not use
abrasive materials.
Coffee stains in the coffee pots can be removed with coffee stain cleaner.
The coffee pots and the components are not dishwasher proof.
Never use the warming plate with abrasive material or sharp objects.
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.
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 holder in the appliance.
Place an empty coffee pot under the filter holder.
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 First use) until the smell and taste of the solution are completely gone.
The appliance can now be used again.
