CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
DESCALING THE COFFEE MAKER
After using your coee maker for a while, limescale will begin to build
up inside the machine. It is important to descale your appliance every
2-3 months. If the machine is used daily, the descaling process should
be done monthly.
• Plug the appliance into a wall outlet.
• Mix equal parts vinegar and water and pour it into the coee maker.
• Press the Start / Stop button to start the brewing process.
• When the brewing process is complete, fill up the coee maker with
water and begin brewing again. This washes out any remaining
vinegar.
• If an odor of vinegar persists, run another cycle with water.
• Use a soft sponge and baking soda to remove stains from the Carafe.
If the stains remain, mix 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar and ¼ cup of baking
soda and allow it to sit in the Carafe overnight.
STORAGE
• Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
• Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
• Store in a clean and dry place.
ENVIRONMENT
Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste
at the end of its life, but hand it in at an ocial collection point for
