∙ Avoid shocks and great differences in
temperature.
∙ Do not stir in the carafe, for example with
a metal spoon.
∙ Do not use hard brushes or abrasive
cleaning agents.
∙ Do not wipe the inside with a cloth. Dust
particles may cut the glass (similar to a
glass-cutter).
∙ Do not wash in a dishwasher.
∙ Do not use in a microwave oven.
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 warrant proper
functioning. Any warranty claim will
be null and void if the appliance
malfunctions because of insuf fi cient
descaling.
∙ A lengthening of the brewing time and
increased noise during brewing indicate
that descaling of the coffee maker has
become necessary.
∙ If the appliance switches off as a result
of a lime deposit build-up, some residual
water remains in the container. Caution:
Allow it to cool down fi rst before switching
on again with the start button. The coffee
maker must be descaled immediately
once operation is fi nished.
∙ 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 thirty to forty
brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar
solution may be used as follows:
∙ Mix 80 ml of vinegar essence with the
indicated maximum amount of cold
water.
∙ Pour the descaling solution into the
water container, insert a paper fi lter into
the fi lter holder without adding any
ground coffee as described in section
Making coffee , and let the appliance
run through one fi ltration cycle. Repeat
the procedure if necessary. During
descaling, ensure suf fi cient ventilation
and do not inhale any vinegar vapours.
∙ To clean the appliance after descaling,
let it run through 2-3 fi ltration cycles
using clean water only.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel
sinks.
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.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
∙ To remove the used ground coffee, open
the swing-out fi lter and lift out the fi lter
insert. Dispose of the ground coffee (as a
natural substance, it may be composted).
Rinse out the fi lter insert before it is
replaced. Ensure that the arrow markings
on the swing-out fi lter and on the fi lter insert
are properly aligned.
∙ Do not dismantle the carafe, do not wash
in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in
water.
