4 Clean the water distribution disk with a moist cloth. Be careful when you do this. Make sure that the
rubber sealing ring does not get stuck under the edge of the water distribution disk. If it does, the
coffee machine starts to leak.
Cleaning the insulated jug
Warning: Do not immerse the insulated jug in water or any other liquid and do not clean
it in the dishwasher as this will damage the jug.
1
To remove the jug lid, turn the lid anticlockwise to 'open' position and remove it (Fig. 39).
2
Clean the inside of the insulated jug with a soft brush, hot water and some washing-up liquid (Fig.
40).
Tip: To remove stubborn brown deposits, fill the jug with hot water and add a spoonful of baking
soda. Let the baking soda do its work for some time.
3
After cleaning, rinse the insulated jug with fresh, hot water (Fig. 41).
Note: You can clean the jug lid in the dishwasher.
Flushing the coffee machine
If you have not used the coffee machine for one day, flush it with clean cold water before you use it
again. Flush the machine in the following way:
1 Fill the water reservoir with clean cold water up to the MAX indication and put it back onto the
machine.
2 Put the 1-cup pod holder or the 2-cup pod holder in the machine without pod(s).
3 Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1.5 liters) or the jug under the coffee spout to collect the
water.
4 Press the 2-cup button, wait until the machine has heated up and brewed an amount of hot water.
Then press the 2-cup button several times until the water reservoir is empty.
Descaling the machine
When to descale
Scale builds up inside the machine during use. It is essential to descale the machine when the CALC
light starts flashing during heating up or brewing (Fig. 29).
Why to descale
Your reasons to descale:
- It prolongs the life of your coffee machine
- It ensures maximum cup volume
- It ensures maximum coffee temperature
- The machine produces less sound during brewing
- It prevents malfunctioning
If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue remains behind in the machine.
This causes scale to build up more quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the
machine.
