always hold the carafe in an upright
position when
fi
lled with coffee.
∙
Keeping the coffee hot
: A heat-
conserving carafe accumulates heat
energy. Therefore the carafe should
preferably be
fi
lled to its maximum
capacity.
If it is only partly
fi
lled,
the temperature will not be held as
ef
fi
ciently.
If you rinse out the carafe with
hot water before use, the coffee will be
kept warm for longer.
Cable storage
The cable storage compartment serves to
store the cable, and to limit its length, if the
lower cut-out in the opening is used.
Cleaning and care
∙
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
∙
To avoid the risk of electric shock do not
immerse the coffee maker in water. The
appliance may be cleaned with a slightly
damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe
dry afterwards. To prevent the valve of
the water reservoir from getting clogged,
use a non-
fl
uffy cloth to clean the water
reservoir and the glass jug.
∙
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
∙
To remove the coffee grounds, open the
swing-out
fi
lter, take off the lid and lift
out the
fi
lter insert. Dispose of the coffee
grounds; as a natural substance, it may
be composted.
∙
Do not dismantle the carafe, do not wash
in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in
water.
∙
Rinse the inside of the carafe with water
and wipe the outside with a clean damp
cloth after use.
∙
To remove coffee deposits from the
inside of the carafe,
fi
ll it with hot water
and add a teaspoon of dishwasher
detergent. Close the screw-in lid and
leave the carafe for some hours. Rinse
out thoroughly with water afterwards.
∙
The screw-in and aroma-protection lids,
fi
lter insert and
fi
lter holder lid can be
cleaned with hot soapy water; rinse
thoroughly afterwards under fresh tap
water.
Descaling
∙
Depending on the water quality (lime
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need
descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits)
on a regular basis to guarantee proper
functioning.
Any warranty claim will
be null and void if the appliance
malfunctions because of insuf
fi
cient
descaling.
∙
Descaling is needed when:
∙
the brewing cycle takes longer than
normal,
∙
there is a visible build-up of deposits
inside the water reservoir or around the
valve unit,
∙
the valve of the water reservoir has
become leaky.
∙
An excessive build-up of lime deposits is
very dif
fi
cult to remove, even when strong
descaling agents are used. It may also
cause the brewing system to leak. We
therefore strongly recommend descaling
the appliance after each 30 to 40 brewing
cycles. For descaling, a vinegar solution
may be used as follows.
∙
Mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar essence
