• Do not put any water in the appliance once the grind & brew basket has been removed. Wipe the area
under the grind & brew basket with a damp cloth. If water gets into the grinding motor, the motor may
become damaged and may malfunction.
• Clean the inside of jug with a soft brush in warm soapy water. Rinse with fresh water and dry it before
next use.
• Note: Never use a dishwasher to clean the jug.
• Wipe the warm plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean
the warm plate.
• Clean the appliance at least once every 3 months so as to keep best performance.
• Store the appliance in a cool and dry place.
Caution: Risks of cuts
The edge of grinding blades is sharp, use a soft brush to clean the grind & brew basket, to avoid
injury.
Descaling
The appliance has to be descaled regularly, otherwise the coffee taste will become bad and the scale deposited
inside in the machine may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.
If you begin to notice the increase of the noise during brewing, or a longer time of brewing time, or the appliance
switches off before the water tank is empty, these indicate descaling is necessary.
The frequency depends on the water hardness and the brewing frequency. Generally, the descaling should be
done in the following periodicity:
• With soft water, at least once every 3 months.
• With hard water, at least once every month.
If doubt to the water hardness, ask advice of your local tap water company.
It is recommended to use liquid descaler suitable for coffee maker, and read carefully the instructions on its
package or user manual before use.
1.
Mix adequate descaler with cold water in a measuring jug. In case of using solid descaler, make sure the
descaler has been dissolved thoroughly before filling.
2. Fill the water tank up to the Max level with prepared solution.
3. Operate the appliance refer to above "Making coffee with ground coffee" until the water tank is empty, but
without ground coffee in the grind & brew basket.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for another descaling cycle.
5. Never refill the water tank with the used descaling solution because it is no longer active.
6. Operate two more brewing cycles with fresh, cold water to remove all descaler solution residues.
Important:
Never interrupt the descaling process.
Malfunctions caused by scale deposited inside the appliance are not covered by the guarantee if the descaling pro-
cess is not carried out properly.
