Cleaning
Always unplug the appliance before you clean it.
Never immerse the appliance or the jug in water.
1 Clean the outside of the coffee maker and the jug with a moist cloth.
2 Detach the filter holder. (Fig. 19)
3 Clean the filter holder in hot water with some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.
The plastic filter holder (HD7544) can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Do not clean the metal filter
holder (HD7546) in the dishwasher.
4 Clean the inside of the insulated jug with a soft brush, hot water and some washing-up liquid.
Do not clean the insulated jug in the dishwasher.
5 After cleaning, rinse the insulated jug with fresh hot water.
Note: To remove stubborn brown deposits, fill the jug with hot water and add a spoonful of soda. Leave
the soda in the jug for some time. Then empty the jug and remove the deposits with a soft brush. Rinse
the insulated jug with fresh hot water.
Descaling
Regular descaling prolongs the lifetime of your coffeemaker and guarantees optimal brewing results
for a long time.
In case of normal use (two full jugs of coffee every day), descale the appliance:
- 2 or 3 times a year if you use soft water (up to 18dH);
- 4 or 5 times a year if you use hard water (over 18dH).
You can use white vinegar with 4% acetic acid or an appropriate liquid descaler. If you use a liquid
descaler, follow the instructions on the package.
Never use vinegar with an acetic acid content of 8% or more, natural vinegar, powder descalers
or tablet descalers to descale the appliance, as this may cause damage.
1 Fill the water tank up to the maximum level with white vinegar (4% acetic acid).
2 Put a paper filter or the permanent filter in the filter holder to collect the scale.
3 Switch on the appliance and let it complete two brewing cycles. Let the appliance cool down
for about 3 minutes between the brewing cycles.
Note: You can reuse the vinegar of the first cycle for the second cycle.
Note: We advise you to put a new paper filter in the filter holder or to rinse the permanent filter
thoroughly after the first brewing cycle.
4 Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and remove the paper filter or the permanent filter.
5 Let the appliance complete two brewing cycles with fresh cold water to remove all vinegar or
descaler residues. Let the appliance cool down for about 3 minutes between the brewing cycles.
Note: Do not reuse water that comes out of the appliance for the next brewing cycle. Always use fresh water.
Note: If necessary, repeat step 5 until the water that comes out of the appliance no longer tastes or
smells of vinegar.
6 Clean the permanent filter (if used), the jug and the filter holder (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
