CLEAN AND CARE
Wash movable parts of the Coffee maker with soapy water. Wipe clean
the outside surface with a soft, damp cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents or any metallic and sharp objects (e.g.
scrubbing brush or knife) for cleaning.
Remove lime scaling when you observe an excess of steam or if the coffee
preparation time takes too long. If the water in your area is alkaline rich,
it is highly recommended to remove lime scaling every two months. To do
so:
Place the empty Carafe on the Hotplate. Dilute two cups of vinegar
in six cups of water and fill the reservoir with the mixture.
Switch ON the Coffee Maker for a minute. Then switch OFF and
leave for half an hour.
Discard the water and vinegar mixture, and then clean the Carafe.
To eliminate vinegar residues, operate the Coffee Maker with water
for two cycles.
