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
glass 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 10-12 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 heating 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.
19. Engage the filter holder under the brewing head. Remove the glass carafe from
the appliance. Remove the hopper lid.
20. Grasp the appliance at both sides of the housing and, over a large bowl, turn
the appliance upside down. You should expect that some drops of water come
out of the water tank. Holding the appliance in this position, turn the appliance
a little in each direction to make the remaining coffee beans fall out. Thereafter
turn the appliance upright again.
CAUTION
– Always ensure that the bean hopper is kept completely dry,
before filling in coffee beans. Moisture in the bean hopper could clog and dama-
ge the grinder. If any moisture got into the bean hopper, leave the appliance dry
naturally for at least 1 hour with the hopper lid left open. Do not poke under the
bean guiding cone. The bean guiding cone cannot be removed.
21. If required, wipe the inner side walls of the bean hopper and the hopper lid with
a soft, dry, and fluff-free cloth, but do not poke under the bean guiding cone!
Emptying the Grinder
NOTE
When using the grinder frequently, you do not need to empty the grinder.
However, before storing the appliance (e.g. before a holiday trip; see also: ‘Sto-
rage’), you should empty the grinder as far as possible, by performing the follow-
ing procedure.
22. When the bean hopper is completely empty, the grinder can be emptied too.
Press the opening button “OPEN” to unlock the filter holder and turn the filter
holder to the complete open position.
CAUTION
–
The heating plate gets hot immediately when starting a func-
tion via the on/off button. Ensure that neither your hand or arm nor the used
vessel touches the heating plate. Do not place the vessel on the heating plate.
23. Plug in the appliance and hold a sufficiently large beaker or small bowl directly
under the brewing head. Do not touch the heating plate, while doing so.
24. Touch the on/off button twice to agitate the grinder. The grinder starts operation,
processing any coffee beans still left in the grinder inlet and mill.
25. Touch the on/off button to cancel operation, when the working noise changes
audibly or the grinder stops.
