6. Cleaning and maintenance
6.1 Safety advice
o
Before beginning with repair or cleaning works make sure the device has been
disconnected from power socket (pull the power plug!!!) and has cooled down.
o
Do not use any acid agents and make sure no water ingresses the device.
o
To protect yourself from electric shock, never immerse the device, its cables and the
plug in water or other liquids.
CAUTION!
The device is not suited for direct washing via water jets. Therefore, you must not
use any kind of pressure water jet for cleaning the device!
6.2 Cleaning and descaling
Regular cleaning
CAUTION!
Always, prior to cleaning, moving or transporting the machine, empty the water
container.
o
Due to the fact that trace amounts of
water remain in the unit's tubes,
container, etc., if the unit is to be
unused for a longer period of time it
is necessary to shake out any
remaining water with the help of the
water release screw located on the
rear wall of the element, pour out
the water, and clean the unit.
WARNING! Risk of scalding!
Drain water only after the appliance and the water have sufficiently cooled down.
Tighten the screw afterwards.
o
During shorter periods of non-use it is sufficient to run clean water through the
machine, without adding coffee.
o
If the unit has gone for a longer period without use, it is necessary to repeat
steps 1-8 (5.3 „ Preparation of coffee“) without pouring coffee.
o
The thermo jug and filter basket should be rinsed following each use.
