Care, Cleaning and Storage
Before cleaning, always switch the
drip coffee machine in the ‘OFF’
position and switch off at the power
outlet. Unplug the power cord and
allow the coffee machine to cool.
Use the handle to push the filter
holder to the left so it swings open.
Remove and empty the mesh filter
basket. The filter basket and carafe
can be washed in hot soapy water,
then rinsed and dried thoroughly.
The outer housing and filter holder
can be cleaned with a soft, damp
cloth (do not use abrasive agents
or cloths which can damage the
surfaces).
WARNING:
Do not touch
hot surfaces. Allow the
drip coffee machine to
cool down before moving
or cleaning any parts.
Removing Mineral Deposits
Mineral deposits in tap water may
build up in the water tank and
internal tubes. If these deposits are
not removed, the brew time will be
extended. To start the decalcifying
process, follow these steps:
1. Fill the water tank to the MAX (10)
level mark with 2 parts cold tap
water and 1 part white vinegar.
2. Ensure the filter holder is firmly
positioned into place with the
empty mesh filter basket inside.
3. Position the empty carafe on
the hotplate and switch the
coffee machine on. Allow the
vinegar mixture to drip through
the machine until the cycle is
complete. Switch the machine off
and empty the carafe.
4. Refill the water tank with tap
water. Switch the coffee machine
on and allow the fresh water to
drip through. Switch the machine
off and empty the carafe.
5. Once cooled, wash the carafe
in hot soapy water , rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Mineral deposits will have been
removed from the water tank and
internal pipes.
WARNING:
Before starting
the decalcifying process
(or de-scale feature),
ensure the carafe is
empty and inserted
correctly in position.
WARNING:
The water
tank should never
be removed during
decalcifying process (or
de-scale feature).
Storage
Ensure the drip coffee machine is
switched off, cleaned and dried
before storing. Do not store anything
on top.
WARNING:
Do not store
the drip coffee machine
with water in the water
tank. Always empty the
tank after use.
