Additonal instruction for therm jug:
• Never stir jug content with metal spoon, do not
use brushes for cleaning. Do not put in ice-cubes
or carbonated drinks to avoid damages of glass
insert.
• Never place the therm jug on a hotplate or use in
microwave oven.
• Avoid extreme variations in temperature.
• After fall down or heavier shocks glass insert may
break. Do not drink the content because glass
splitters may be inside.
• Do not lay down filled jug – liquid may come out.
• Do not use for milk products or baby food, bacte-
ria may develop
Descaling
• In hard water areas scale will eventually build up in
your machine which unfortunately cannot be avoi-
ded. Scale may at worst damage your coffeemaker
and leads to extended preparation times.
• To secure much pleasure in your coffeemaker ple-
ase descale it regularly (after every 40 filtrations).
This ensures a perfect operation.
• We recommend for descaling Swirl ® Bio-Descaler
or Swirl
®
Quickdescaler.
