Cleaning the Coffee Machine
0 Remove the filter basket (Figure 1/J) to
clean. It is particularly important to
activate the anti-drip valve as it is
rinsed so that coffee particles are
removed thoroughly.
Clean the appliance casing with a
damp cloth, but never immerse it in
water! You can wash the coffee jug
and lid in a dishwasher.
Descaling
The service life of your coffee machine
can be lengthened with regular descal-
ing. As a precaution we recommend
descaling every three months.
Important: If you have a permanent
filter, remove it from the filter insert
before descaling.
Important: Remove the complete car-
bon filter system (Figure 3) before you
start descaling.
For descaling use a liquid, environmen-
tally-friendly descaling agent availa-
ble generally at retail outlets. Only use
it in accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions. Do not use a for-
mic acid based descaler.
0 First fill the fresh water container with
water. Then add the appropriate
amount of descaling agent – not the
other way round!
0 Place the coffee jug on the warming
plate. Please note that positioning the
coffee jug correctly opens the anti-drip
valve, enabling the water to flow
through correctly.
0 Allow the descaling solution to take
effect for approx. 15 minutes, then
switch the appliance on using the on/
off button. Once the descaling solution
has run through, switch the appliance
off.
Repeat the procedure at least twice
using clear water.
0 Rinse the coffee jug, jug lid and filter
basket thoroughly under running
water. Activate the filter valve several
times as it is rinsed.
If necessary, repeat the descaling pro-
cedure.
Protecting the Environment
Do not simply throw packaging mate-
rial away.
• The cardboard box can be deposited in
the old paper collection or the relevant
refuse collection system.
• Deposit plastic bags made from poly-
ethylene (PE) at a PE collection point
for recycling.
• Foam polystyrene (PS) padding items
are free of CFCs.
Please inquire with your local authority
about your local recycling centre.
After the coffee has been prepared, the
paper filter and coffee grounds make
excellent compost.
