AFTER USE
CLEANING
NOTE
Clean the appliance regularly to keep it in a safe and hygienic working condition
and to ensure that the coffee taste is not impaired.
• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely. Then
empty the water tank and filter holder, if necessary.
• Do not clean the appliance with steel wool, strong chemicals, alkali, abrasive or
disinfecting agents as they may damage its surface.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids to clean it. Make sure that
the electrical parts do not become wet or damp.
• Never clean any of the appliance's parts in the dishwasher.
• Regularly empty the drip tray. When the drip tray's floater is visible from the drip
plate, the drip tray is full and needs to be emptied.
• Remove the filter from the filter holder. The filters and the filter holder can be
cleaned in warm water, using a soft sponge. Dry with a dry soft cloth. If you
notice malfunctions when brewing coffee, immerse the filter in boiling water for
10 minutes and then rinse with running water.
• Immediately after frothing milk, turn the steam knob to the steam/hot water setting
to purge out any residual milk from the steam wand.
• Clean the steam wand with a damp cloth. To clean it more thoroughly, you
can unscrew it and wash it under running water. If the hole of the steam wand
becomes blocked, use a pin to unblock the hole.
• Regularly remove any residual coffee grounds from the brewing head using a
brush, and wash with hot water following the steps below:
1. Insert the filter holder into the brewing head without ground coffee.
2. Place an empty cup on the drip plate.
3. Press the double cup button and let the water fill the cup.
4. Remove the filter holder from the brewing head and clean the brewing head
with a dry cloth.
WARNING
Do not try to disassemble the brewing head. It will damage the brewing Head
and lead to leakage.
• Clean the body of the appliance with a soft damp cloth. Wipe with a dry soft cloth.
• The appliance may only be used again after it is dried completely.
DESCALING
• To make sure the appliance operates efficiently, to clean the internal pipes, and to
preserve the flavor of your coffee, the appliance needs to be descaled regularly.
• Additionally, after 500 brewing cycles, a descaling reminder will be displayed
(the on/off button flashes 5 times). The descaling reminder will appear everytime
you turn on the appliance if you do not run a descaling cycle.
• Proceed as follows to descale the appliance:
1. Fill water with descaling agent (4 parts water to 1 part descaling agent) into
the water tank up to the MAX marking.
NOTE
Also refer to the instructions on the descaling agent. Only use a regular household
descaling agent or citric acid; in the latter case, use 100 parts water to 3 parts
of citric acid.
2. Place a cup or other suitable receptacle on the drip plate and keep both the
double cup and steam button pressed for approx. 5 seconds. The appliance starts
the descaling cycle. The cycle takes approx. 7 minutes and stops automatically.
3. Repeat the previous steps until the water with descaling agent/citric acid is used up.
4. Repeat the whole process two more times using only clean tap water without
any descaling agent.
STORAGE
• Before storage, always make sure that the appliance is completely dry and
cooled down.
• Ensure that the water tank and drip tray are empty and clean.
• Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and out of the
reach of children.
• Preferably store the appliance in its original packaging.
