the appliance will shut off the heating elements automatically to save energy. The
POWER button will flash slowly for another 10 minutes. Thereafter, the machine will
switch off completely.
14. If you do not wish to brew another cup of coffee, press the POWER button to switch
off the appliance. Then unplug the appliance. Leave the appliance cool down, then
clean the appliance according to the instructions in chapter >Care and Cleaning<.
Note:
If the machine is run continuously for 30 minutes, allow the machine to cool for approx.
5 minutes before each use. However, make a break of 2 minutes after each extraction.
