• Clean and descale the machine regularly (see
sections «Cleaning» and «Descaling»).
Water Filter
Braun Nescafé Nescup
®
is equipped with a water
filter that filters unfavourable chemicals out of the
water to improve the quality of your beverage
significantly. Moreover, it protects your machine
against scale build-up and extends its lifetime.
The water filter should be replaced regularly
(approx. after 50 l of water have run through).
When the water filter exchange signal (E) lights up,
you need to replace the water filter to ensure best
quality of your coffee. To insert the water filter
cartridge, proceed as follows:
• Unpack the water filter cartridge, and immerse
it in a large glass or cup filled with water for
10 minutes.
• Remove the water tank.
• Switch the coffee/water selector (Q) to the
«water» position and place a cup on the tray to
capture potential water spill.
• Open the water filter compartment (B) and insert
the new water filter by firmly pressing it down.
• To reset the water filter exchange signal, press
the «stop» button (D) for 5 seconds.
• Empty the cup if needed, place it back on the
drip tray and press the mug button (J). After
brewing has stopped, empty the cup and repeat
twice more.
Rinsing
Rinse the machine daily before the first cup.
• Place an empty cup on the drip tray (N).
• Ensure that the coffee/water selector (Q) is in
the «coffee» position.
• Press the manual button (H) without adding any
instant coffee and press the mug button (J).
Cleaning
Always unplug the machine before cleaning.
Clean the detachable parts of the brewing unit
daily after your last cup of the day and always
after milk has been used:
• Remove the brewing unit (U) by pulling it
towards you (see VIII).
• Detach the coffee pipe (X) and the brewing
mechanism lid (W) by unscrewing it from the
brewing unit (U).
• Remove the seal (V).
• Clean all parts with hot water and washing-up
liquid. Alternatively, the brewing unit can be
cleaned in the dishwasher.
• Remember to replace the seal (V) when re-
assembling the brewing unit (U).
• Ensure that all parts are completely dry before
re-assembly.
• When re-inserting the brewing unit, ensure it is
firmly inserted by pressing against its back
panel.
Coffee Container
• Disassemble the coffee container (A) and clean
the glass either with a dry cloth or in hot water
(see X). The other parts should be wiped with a
dry cloth or paper towel.
• After cleaning the coffee container make sure it
is completely dry prior to re-filling with instant
coffee. Otherwise, the coffee powder may
congeal and block the machine.
• If the lid of the coffee container is blocked with
caked coffee, disassemble it by taking out the
stopper, turning the ring left and pulling out the
piston (see IX, 1–4). Remove the rubber sealing
ring to avoid it from getting wet. Clean all other
parts with hot water and ensure everything is
dry before reassembly. Especially the rubber
sealing ring needs to be completely dry. In case
of doubt, use one of the spare sealing rings.
Machine Exterior
• Never clean the machine under running water
and never immerse it in water.
• Only use a clean kitchen towel for cleaning. If
necessary, you may use some washing-up
liquid.
• When moving the machine, remove the water
tank (C) from the unit first.
• Clean the water tank (C) regularly. To avoid
scratching use a soft cloth soaked in vinegar
and water.
Descaling
If you are using a water filter the cup, mug,
cappuccino and manual signals light up
simultaneously to indicate that descaling is
necessary (ca every 300l). If you are not using
a water filter you need to descale the machine
more often (ca every 100l). The red water filter
exchange signal lights up every 50
l and you can
use this as a reference and descale every second
time it lights up.
The descaling process works in 4 phases. After
each step the blinking cup, mug, cappuccino and
manual signals will show you that you need to
initiate the next phase:
1.
• Remove the water filter from the appliance and
ensure the brewing unit is in place.
