care and maintenance
1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning or storing away.
2 Use the grip at the bottom of the filter housing to swing it out from the coffee maker.
3 Use the handle on the filter to lift it out of the filter holder.
4 Tip the contents of the filter into the bin – don’t flush coffee grounds down the sink. They’ll
build up and cause a blockage.
5 Use the handle on the filter holder to lift it out.
6 You may clean the carafe, filter, and filter holder in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly
afterwards, to remove all traces of soap.

outside of the filter housing.
i) Turn the glass clockwise (about 2cm) to lock the bayonet fittings.
j) When you swing the filter housing back into place, the logo should appear directly below
the brew strength control.
9 The cut-outs in filter should face the front.

14 Don’t put the appliance in water or any other liquid.
15 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
descaling
16 Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It will also
lengthen the brewing time.
17 Descale regularly. If you notice the brewing time getting longer, shorten the time between
descalings. In areas of very hard water it may be necessary to descale as often as once a
month, or to use filtered water instead of ordinary tap water.
18 Use a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic-bodied products. Follow the
instructions on the package of descaler. When descaling has finished, empty the carafe and
operate the coffee maker twice more with fresh water, but without coffee. Discard the water
to ensure that no chemical residues are left in the coffee maker.
