• Store ground coffee in an airtight container, protected from light and in a
cool, dry place. It can be stored in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
• For the best coffee taste, buy coffee beans and grind them finely just
before brewing.
• Do not reuse coffee grounds, this considerably reduces the flavour of the
coffee.
• Reheating the coffee is also not recommended as the coffee becomes
bitter and tastes bad.
• A clean coffee maker is essential for brewing great-tasting coffee. Clean it
regularly as specified in the “Care and maintenance” section.
CLEANING AND DECALCIFICATION
The hardness of drinking water varies by region. Lime particles settle in the
water as residues in the machine and can block the hoses and cause
malfunction or damage. To avoid this, be sure to decalcify the machine after
300 to 400 uses, or, after one or two months or, in any case, if the flow
drops significantly.
Decalcification must be done correctly to avoid damage. It is therefore
essential to follow these instructions.
- Never clean the machine with vinegar. This causes damage and can make
your coffee taste unpleasant.
- Damage caused by improper decalcification or lack of decalcification is not
covered by warranty.
- Buy a commercial descaler (or decalcification liquid). Dilute it according to
the manufacturer's instructions and pour the mixture into the water tank.
- Place a large bowl under the distribution heads to collect the mixture and
the scale and lime residues.
- Fill the tank with the mixture.
Note : Make sure the solution is completely dissolved.
- Press the coffee maker Turn on switch (on the side) to circulate the
descaling liquid in the coffee maker. Repeat the operation two or three
times.
- To rinse the internal circuit, repeat the operation with fresh water (without
descaling solution).
STORAGE
