7. Cleaning and care
External cleaning
• The housing and the water tank can be cleaned with
a soft, damp cloth.
• The glass jug and lid and the filter insert are dish-
washer safe.
• The hotplate can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth
when it is cold.
For the best coffee flavour we recommend cleaning
the bean container, the grinder and the ground coffee
chute regularly. This is easiest when the bean contain-
er and the grinder are completely empty.
Remove bean container:
-
Turn the bean container anti-clockwise until the
triangular indicators are aligned
.
-
Remove the bean container from the appliance
and empty it completely.
• Put the bean container in place:
-
Align the triangular indicators
.
-
Lightly press down on the bean container and
turn it clockwise until it clicks into place.
• Put a coffee filter in the filter holder
.
• Empty the grinder completely:
-
Set the appliance at 2 cups
and one coffee
bean
.
-
Press the start button ON/OFF
and allow the
appliance to grind until empty.
-
After grinding use the ON/OFF button to turn
the appliance off.
• Remove the bean container
again as described
above.
Clean the grinder:
-
Turn the grind level dial to ‘Open’
.
-
Lift up the bracket and pull the grinder ring out
of the grinder
.
-
Clean the grinder with the cleaning brush
provided
.
-
To completely remove ground coffee deposits
we recommend using a vacuum cleaner.
• Open the swivel filter and dispose of the coffee
filter
.
Clean the ground coffee chute:
-
Holding the appliance in both hands carefully lay
it on its back.
-
Now you can firstly clean the area above the
swivel filter with the brush and a damp cloth.
-
To open the ground coffee chute
hold down
the button for ground coffee
for 5 seconds.
-
The ground coffee chute flap opens and the
chute can be cleaned with the brush..
-
To close the flap on the ground coffee chute
hold down the button for ground coffee
for
5 seconds.
-
Put the swivel filter
back in place and stand
the appliance up again.
• Put the grinder ring
back in place and close
down the bracket again.
• Turn the grind level dial back into a grind position
.
• Put the bean container in place again as described
above.
Descaling:
Based on the water hardness you have set (see point
3) the appliance should be descaled soon after the
CALC
indicator lights up.
• Measure out the descaling fluid according to the
manufacturers instructions and pour it into the wa-
ter tank. We recommend using Melitta
®
Anti Calc
Filter Café Machines.
• Briefly press the CALC button
. The red LED
starts to flash
.
• The current time and ‘CALC’ appear alternately in
the display
.
• The descaling process runs automatically. To remove
even heavy calcification the descaling process takes
about 25 minutes.
•
Attention:
Only by running the complete descaling
process can all limescale deposits be removed. Only
then does the Calc LED
go off. Therefore the
descaling process should not be interrupted.
• After the descaling process has been completed the
light in the CALC button
goes off. The appliance
turns off automatically.
• To completely remove any deposits from desca-
ling, the appliance must be rinsed twice with the
maximum amount of water without coffee, after the
descaling process has ended. Proceed as described
in point 2.
