Clean the heating plate with a damp cloth and soapy water.
Clean the filter holder and its anti-drop nozzle, coffee pot and lid in hot water with washing-
up liquid. Rinse and dry the parts before putting them back. The anti-drop nozzle might
accumulate coffee grounds; it is recommended to wash it after every use.
To remove stains on the coffee pot, rub with bicarbonate of soda or with a gentle
cleaning product. For stains that are difficult to remove, fill the pot with hot water and
add two spoonfuls of dishwasher powder and allow to stand for several hours. Wash the
coffee pot and rinse it well.
Do not use detergents or abrasive products to clean the coffee maker.
Do not immerse the machine body directly in water or any other liquid.
Do not dismantle the machine yourself.
Do not repair the electric lead yourself if it has deteriorated. Call on competent personnel.
b) Descaling the Machine
Depending on the hardness of the water and the frequency of use it is possible that the pipes will
block progressively depending on the lime scale content in the water. This is noticeable when the
filtering process takes longer than normal. To prevent this follow the procedure below:
Fill the tank with one third vinegar and two thirds water.
Plug in the coffee maker and start it.
After 30 seconds turn the machine off.
Wait for 30 minutes to let the vinegar work and then turn the machine on again.
Once the coffee preparation cycle has finished, turn off the coffee maker.
Repeat this operation two or three times depending on the amount of scale.
After descaling the coffee maker operate it 2 or 3 times with just water to remove the
vinegar residues.
The frequency of descaling depends on the type of water which you use to make the coffee:
soft water: every 6 months
normal water: every 2/3 months
hard water: every 6 to 8 weeks
