CLEANING THE HOUSING AND FILTER HOLDER
CAUTION
– Do not press on the filter holder to avoid damage to the hinge.
12. Switch off the appliance (on/off button is illuminated white). Unplug the appli-
ance and leave the appliance cool down for approx. 30 Minutes. Remove the
steel carafe.
13. If the filter holder is engaged under the brewing head, press the opening button
“OPEN”. Hold the filter holder with one hand, while wiping the surfaces using
a soft moistened cloth, without pressing the filter holder down in any way. The-
reafter wipe dry.
NOTE
Due to the dripping of water during brewing, coffee powder could splash onto
the steam screen at the bottom of the brewing head. This could happen especially
when filling large amounts of coffee powder into the filter (e.g. with the grinder set
to 8 cups). Clean the steam screen regularly.
14. With the filter holder in the open position, carefully brush the steam screen at the
bottom of the brewing head with a soft brush for removing residues of splashes.
15. The housing, power cord, and base plate may be cleaned with a soft, damp
cloth. Polish with a soft, dry cloth.
16. Before leaving the appliance unused for an elongated time and before desca-
ling, you should empty the bean hopper and grinder (see: ‘Emptying the Bean
Hopper and Grinder’).
17. Depending on the hardness of the water used and the frequency of usage, you
need to descale the appliance regularly (see: ‘Descaling’).
EMPTYING THE BEAN HOPPER AND GRINDER
When the appliance is not in use for an elongated period of time, you should empty
the bean hopper and grinder completely. If required, wipe residues of coffee pow-
der from the surfaces of the bean hopper.
CAUTION
– Do not use violence when wiping the bean hopper. Do not poke
under the bean guiding cone in the bean hopper! The bean guiding cone ensures
that the grinder inlet is not blocked by coffee beans and cannot be removed.
Emptying the Bean Hopper
18. Ensure that the water tank is completely empty.
