MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
De-Scaling The Vacuum Coffee Maker
To guarantee that the Vacuum Coffee Maker works correctly,
you have to ensure that the machine is kept free of lime-
scale. The optimum cycle is dependent on the hardness of
the water which differs from country to country. We would
advise de-scaling the machine after every 100 uses.
Important:
If you do not de-scale the Vacuum Coffee Maker
then this can cause damage!
Regular de-scaling can increase the service life of the prod-
uct and guarantees its faultless operation. Furthermore,
regular de-scaling will result in less steam forming, faster
brewing times and energy savings.
Deposits should be removed with a commercially available
de-scaling solution for coffee machines or with a solution
of vinegar and water (20% vinegar and 80% water). When
using commercially available de-scaling solutions ensure
that these are suitable for use with heating elements made
of copper as well as silicone materials. (Carefully check the
specifications and dosage instructions of the manufacturer).
Fill the jug (11) with descaling solution or a vinegar and water solu-
tion (do not fill above the MAX line (13)) and leave it for a while.
Then rinse the jug thoroughly with cold, clear water, at least
twice.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service facility.
