8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
9. D-ESCALING
The appliance must be descaled regularly.
De-scale the appliance every 2 - 6 months,
however at the latest once the appliance
shows signs of calcification.
Method:
•
Use a special de-scaling agent for
espresso machines based on citric
acid.
* Note
Never use vinegar or de-scaling agent
based on vinegar. Vinegar destroys
the seal of your appliance.
•
Open up the lid of your appliance and
put in the recommended dosage of the
de-scaling agent into your appliance.
•Remove the appliance from
the power base and allow it
to cool down each time
before cleaning. Disconnect
the plug from the mains.
•
Never immerse the stainless steel
water container or the power base in
water and never use highly
corrosive or abrasive cleaning
agents.
•
Wipe the appliance and the power
base with a damp cloth. Rinse the
inside of the pot, water container and
coffee filter with water.
•
If clogged up, clean the sieve and/or
filter disc under running water and use
a soft brush if necessary (no metal).
Warning! Risk of scalding!
If the seal is dirty it could lead to both
parts of the appliance not being
pressed together properly and when
boiling, hot espresso could spurt out.
Always keep the seal clean.
•
When not in use, both parts of the
appliance should only be screwed
together loosely.
10. ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
•
Packaging materials and appliance are
made of recycling materials.
•
Separation of the remaining waste
material into different types facilitates
the recycling of valuable raw
materials.
11. DISPOSAL
When the appliance is no longer
serviceable, make sure that it can no
longer be used (cut off the mains cable)
and dispose of the appliance in the proper
manner.
You can obtain information on disposal
from your local authority.
Fill up the appliance above the safety
valve with water.
•
Allow the de-scaling agent to take
effect for at least 30 minutes. Do not
switch on the unit during this process.
•
Afterwards, rinse out the appliance
several times with clean water and
then boil again with clean water which
should then be poured away.
•
Repeat the process if the appliance is
heavily scaled.
