Descaling
For the best performance from your Braun coffee
maker, descale the unit when the LED CLEAN (f)
lights up solid green. This indicates it is time to
descale your coffee maker.
To set water hardness, see «Setting the Water
Hardness Level».
The removal of built-up calcium deposits from the
water reservoir will help extend the life of your
coffee maker and keep your coffee tasting great.
Frequency will depend upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the coffee maker.
You can use a commercially available descaling
agent that is safe to use on aluminum.
We recommend using the Braun Descaling Solution
(can be purchased in stores, through the Braun
website, or by calling Customer Service).
NOTE:
For your convenience, the cleaning cycle is
automatic. The entire cleaning cycle including
rinsing can take up to 45 minutes to complete.
•
Remove the charcoal water filter holder (8)
including the charcoal water filter (7) and the gold
tone permanent filter (5).
•
Follow package instructions on the descaling
agent.
•
Place the empty carafe in its position on the keep
warm plate (9).
•
Press the CLEAN button (f). The green LED above
the button will start flashing.
•
Press BREW (a) to start the descaling program,
while the green LED is still flashing. Once the
descaling process has started, it is not possible to
stop the program until finished.
•
When the descaling program has been
completed, the green LED will turn off.
•
Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe
thoroughly with clean water.
•
Fill the water reservoir with a full carafe (12 cups)
of clean, fresh water. Run the coffee maker
through two complete brew cycles to flush the
unit after descaling. Use a full carafe of fresh cold
water each time.
Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary
in order to reduce the brewing time per cup to a
normal level.
Cleaning and Maintenance (C)
•
Always turn coffee maker off and remove the plug
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
•
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove the gold tone
permanent filter and discard the ground coffee.
•
Remove the carafe from the keep warm plate
and discard any remaining coffee.
•
The filter basket, gold tone permanent filter,
carafe and lid can be washed in warm, soapy
water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the
upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after
use.
•
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffee maker.
•
Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids.
•
To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp
cloth and dry before storing.
•
Do not put any water in the unit once the filter
basket has been removed. Wipe the area under
the filter basket with a damp cloth.
•
Fingerprints and other blemishes on the housing
can be wiped off with soap and water or a
non-abrasive cleaning solution.
•
Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a
cloth, as lint may remain.
Both the design specifications and these user
instructions are subject to change without notice.
Do not dispose the product in household waste at
the end of its useful life.
