Cleaning
To obtain an optimal taste result after every brewing
process you should clean the coffee machine after
every use.
• Unplug the power cable from the mains power
socket.
Risk of electric shock!
Before you clean the coffee maker you MUST remove
the plug from the mains power socket. Under no
circumstances may the appliance be immersed in
water or held under running water during cleaning.
Risk of burns!
Always wait until the coffee maker has cooled
down before cleaning it. This avoids the potential
risk of being burnt.
Attention!
Do not use household detergents or sharp/pointed
objects to remove soiling. . These could damage
the appliance.
• Wipe the housing of the coffee machine and
the thermos can 8 with a soft cloth lightly
moistened with a soapy solution. At the same
time remove any deposits that may have settled
in the thermos can 8.
Note:
After each use wipe away any possible coffee resi-
dues on the coffee machine and the thermos can 8.
If you do not, it may cause discolouration.
• After every brewing process remove the filter
bag from the filter holder 4.
• Rinse both of them under running water.
• Clean the measuring spoon in mild soapy water
and rinse it with clean water.
Scale removal
The mineral content (hardness) in the water causes,
over a period of time, a calcification of the coffee
machine. This calcification impairs the appliance in
its function and diminishes the quality of the brewed
filter coffee.
Note:
Enquire at your local waterworks about the hardness
level of your mains water. The need for decalcification
comes early in hard water areas, somewhat later
in soft water areas. Use a decalcifier designed for
household appliances and pay heed to the usage
instructions.
1. Switch the coffee machine off and allow it to
cool down completely.
2. Place the scale removal product in the water
tank 2.
3. Fill it with the maximum permitted amount of
water for descaling (see the descaler instructions).
However, do not pour in more water than to the
8-cup marking in the water tank 2.
4. Place the thermos can 8 on the stand plate 0.
5. Press the On/Off switch 9.
6. Wait until the brewing process is complete and
the control lamp goes out.
7. Unplug the power cable from the mains power
socket.
8. Carefully rinse the thermos can 8 with mains
water.
9. Take the water tank 2 off and rinse it out with
clean water.
10. To finish, complete two brewing processes using
only mains water, as described in the section
"Before the first usage".
When completed, you can continue to use the
coffee machine.
