Cleaning and care

Cleaning
Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.
Do not immerse the appliance in water. Outer surfaces can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The filter (3) and aroma glass jug (6) can be cleaned under running water.
Limescale
Limescale deposits extend brewing times and lower the quality of your coffee. They also lead to energy
losses and impair the service life of the appliance.
If too much limescale has accumulated, the appliance switches off prematurely. The limescale is then
very difficult to remove. You should therefore descale regularly or at the latest when brewing times
are significantly longer or the noise level increases.
The following data are guidelines based on daily use in the home.
