CAUTION
– As long as all items on the operating element are illuminated still
(e.g. a brewing cycle is running), always ensure that the water tank is completely
empty, before pressing the opening button (“OPEN”) at the right side of the hou-
sing.
Do not use any brushes with sharp edges for cleaning the re-usable filter, even if the
brush is completely made of plastic. Only use brushes with rounded off edges (e.g.
a clean, soft tooth brush). Also, handle the filter basket with care to avoid damage
to the drip-stop valve.
NOTE
Do not leave any residues of coffee dry on the surfaces of the filter system to avo-
id blockage of the re-usable filter and drip-stop valve. You may remove the filter
basket from the filter holder, while the steel carafe is still placed on the base plate.
1. After each brewing cycle (the appropriate signal sounds), leave the filter system
cool down for approx. 15 minutes. Then take out the removable parts of the
filter system (filter basket with splash shield and filter) and rinse these parts with
hot water (see: ‘Brewing Coffee / Immediately After Use’).
2. Using warm dishwater and a soft brush, clean the filter basket, splash shield
and, if required, the re-usable filter.
3. Thoroughly rinse the parts under running tap water. With the filter basket filled
with clear water, press the drip-stop valve at the bottom of the filter basket for
flushing the drip-stop valve.
4. Dry all parts and leave the parts dry naturally for approx. 1/2 hour, where they
are
out of reach of young children

Removing Stubborn Residues in the Re-Usable Filter
IMPORTANT -
Clean the re-usable filter after each use to avoid stubborn residues.
Nevertheless, depending on the hardness of the water used and the state of care,
after frequent usage, lime and small particles of coffee powder could accumulate in
the pores of the nylon mesh. If required, perform the following method for cleaning.
CAUTION
– Do not knock the steel carafe against any hard objects. Avoid
damaging the carafe lid during cleaning.
5. Remove coarse residues using a soft brush as described above. Mix vinegar and
warm water 1:4. Add a drop of dishwater detergent.
