Care and Cleaning
WARNING:
Cover, filter basket, glass carafe, and warming plate will get very hot during
operation. Additionally, hot water and steam can pour out during operation. Always switch
OFF
(
ON/OFF button
), unplug, allow cooling down, moving or cleaning the appliance.
Additionally, empty the water reservoir before transportation or storage.
Do not place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher! Do
not immerse the appliance or power cord in any liquids. Do not pour any
liquids over the appliance or the power cord.
Do not
use aggressive chemicals (bleach, desinfectant, or decalcifier), abrasive cleaners, or
hard or sharp objects on any part of your coffeemaker.
Do not
use violence to avoid damage. Especially the Pause & Serve mechanism of the filter
basket and the hinges of the covers of water reservoir and glass carafe are sensitive to care-
less handling.
Cleaning the Filter Basket
WARNING: Do not lift the cover of the coffeemaker during or immediately
after the brewing cycle.
Even if the water reservoir seems to be empty, hot water and
steam could spit out of the holes in the middle of the cover and cause scalding. After brewing
is completed, there can still be some HOT liquid in the filter basket.
Always switch
OFF
the appliance (
ON/OFF button
), before opening the cover of the appli-
ance. Allow to drain completely, and to cool down for at least 10 minutes. Remove the filter
basket carefully.
1. Switch
OFF
the appliance (
ON/OFF button
), and allow to cool down for at least 10
minutes. Ensure that the cover of the coffeemaker has cooled.
Note:
When lifting up the cover of the coffeemaker, condensation can drip down the back
and onto your counter. This does not mean that the appliance is leaking.
Immediately
wipe off the condensate using a clean dry cloth.
2. Open the cover of the coffeemaker and carefully remove the filter basket. For this, grasp the
tabs on each side of the filter basket, and lift the filter basket straight up from the coffeemaker.
3. Discard the used filter bag and grounds in the dustbin for domestic refuse. However, the
grounds (without filter bag!) can be composted.
Note:
Do not wash away the coffee grounds in the sink.
CAUTION:
Always handle the filter basket with care to avoid damage to the Pause & Serve
mechanism.
4. Rinse the filter basket after each brewing cycle with tap water. On occasion, carefully clean
the filter basket with warm dishwater using a soft nylon brush.
