cleaning
Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid, nor rinse it
under the tap.
1 Clean the outside of the appliance with a wet cloth.
Descaling
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance and guarantees
optimal brewing results and a constant brewing time for a long time.
In case of normal use (two full jugs of coffee every day), descale the
appliance:
- 2 or 3 times a year if you use soft water (up to 18dH);
- 4 or 5 times a year if you use hard water (over 18dH).
Contact your local water board for information about the water hardness
in your area.
You can use white vinegar with 4% acetic acid or a liquid descaler to
descale the coffeemaker.
Note: If the appliance starts to produce more steam, this can be an indication
that scale is building up.
Never use vinegar with an acetic acid content of 8% or more, natural
vinegar, powder descalers or tablet descalers to descale the appliance,
as this may cause damage.
Descaling takes approx. 30 to 60 minutes.
1 Fill the water tank with one litre of white vinegar (4% acetic acid).
Note: Do not put a filter and ground coffee in the filter holder. You can also
use an appropriate liquid descaler. In this case, follow the instructions on the
package of the descaler.
2 Press the on/off switch to switch on the appliance and let it
complete the brewing cycle (see chapter 'Using the appliance').
3 Switch off the appliance.
4 Empty the jug over a sink.
