REMOVING MINERAL
DEPOSITS
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently,
periodically you should clean away the mineral
deposits left by the water according to the water quality
in your area and the use frequency. We recommend
decalcifying your coffee maker as follows, using a
solution of white vinegar and cold water. A solution of
two tablespoons (30ml) white vinegar in one carafe of
cold water works best.
1. Fill the tank with the vinegar solution to the
maximum level as indicated on water gauge.
2. Insert glass carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make ensure filter (without coffee powder) and
funnel are assembled in place.
4. Switch on the appliance and allow it to “brew”
de-scaling solution.
5. After “brew” one-cup solution, switch off the
appliance.
6. Leave the solution stay for 15 minutes and
repeat step 3-5.
7. Switch on the appliance and run off the solution
until the water tank is completely empty.
8. Rinse by operating the appliance with water at
least 3 times.
HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING
COFFEE
Note : a clean coffee maker is essential for ma -
king great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the
coffee maker as specified in the “CARE AND CLEA -
NING” section. Always use fresh, cold water in the
coffee maker.
Note
: store unused coffee powder in a cool, dry
place. After opening a package of coffee
powder, reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to
maintain its freshness.
Note : for an optimum coffee taste, buy whole
coffee beans and finely grind them just before
brewing.
Note : do not reuse coffee powder since this will
greatly reduce the coffee’ flavor. Reheating cof -
fee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
Note
: clean the coffee maker when over-extrac -
tion causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the
surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extrac -
tion of oil from the coffee powder.
Note : oiliness may occur more frequently if he -
avily roasted coffees are used.
DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL
APPLIANCES
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Elec -
trical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), re -
quires that old household electrical applian -
ces must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream.
Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the
materials they contain and reduce the impact on hu -
man health and the environment. The cros -
sed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you
dispose of the appliance it must be separately col -
lected. Consumers should contact their local authority
or retailer for information concerning the correct di -
sposal of their old appliance.
