water passes through the
fi
lter.
∙
Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the
fi
lter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
∙
Keeping the coffee warm:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate.
The plate is kept hot for around 35 minutes
after brewing is complete.
∙
Interrupting the brewing/keeping-warm
cycle:
To interrupt the brewing cycle, or if the
keeping-warm function is not needed, the
brewing cycle can be interrupted by pressing
the On/Off button again.
∙
Switching off the coffee maker:
Remove the plug from the wall socket once
brewing/keeping-warm is complete.
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.
∙
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 clean the appliance with liquids or
immerse it; do not clean under running
tap 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 coffee grounds, open
the swing-out
fi
lter and lift out and dispose
of the paper
fi
lter and the grounds (as a
natural substance the grounds may be
composted). Lift up the swing-out
fi
lter
slightly and separate it from the hinge
by pulling it downwards. Rinse out the
fi
lter before replacing it, and then close it
again.
