the carafe in an upright position when filled
with coffee.
–
Keeping the coffee hot
carafe accumulates heat energy. Therefore the
carafe should preferably be filled to its
maximum capacity. If it is only partly filled,
the temperature will not be held as
efficiently. If you rinse out the carafe with hot
water before use, the coffee will be kept warm
for longer.
Cable storage
The cable storage compartment serves to store
the cable, and to limit its length, if the lower
cut-out in the opening is used.
Cleaning and care
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
To avoid the risk of electric shock do not
immerse the coffee maker in water. The
appliance may be cleaned with a slightly
damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe
dry afterwards. To prevent the valve of the
water reservoir from getting clogged, use a
non-fluffy cloth to clean the water reservoir
and the glass jug
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
–
To remove the coffee grounds, open the
swing-out filter, take off the lid and lift out
the filter insert. Dispose of the coffee
grounds; as a natural substance, it may be
composted.
–
Do not dismantle the carafe, do not wash in
a dishwasher and do not immerse it in
water.
–
Rinse the inside of the carafe with water and
wipe the outside with a clean damp cloth
after use.
–
To remove coffee deposits from the inside
of the carafe, fill it with hot water and add a
teaspoon of dishwasher detergent. Close the
screw-in lid and leave the carafe for some
hours. Rinse out thoroughly with water
afterwards.
–
The screw-in and aroma-protection lids,
filter insert and filter holder lid can be
: A heat-conserving
cleaned with hot soapy water; rinse
thoroughly afterwards under fresh tap
water.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality (lime
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need descaling
(i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular
basis to guarantee proper functioning. Any
warranty claim will be null and void if the
appliance malfunctions because of
insufficient descaling.
Descaling is needed when:
–
the brewing cycle takes longer than normal,
–
there is a visible build-up of deposits inside
the water reservoir or around the valve unit,
–
the valve of the water reservoir has become
leaky.
An excessive build-up of lime deposits is
very difficult to remove, even when strong
descaling agents are used. It may also cause
the brewing system to leak. We therefore
strongly recommend descaling the appliance
after each 30 to 40 brewing cycles. For
descaling, a vinegar solution may be used as
follows.
–
Mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with 2 – 7
cups of cold water.
–
Pour the descaling solution into the water
container, insert a paper filter into the filter
holder, without adding any coffee as
described in section Making coffee, and let
the appliance run through one filtration
cycle. Repeat the process if necessary.
During descaling, ensure sufficient
ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar
vapours.
–
To clean the appliance after descaling, let it
run through 2-3 filtration cycles using clean
water only.
Do not pour descalers down enamel sinks.
Disposal
Do not dispose of old or defective
appliances in domestic garbage; this
should only be done through public
