■
Do not set up the appliance under kit-
chen cupboards. Maintain minimum
distances around the appliance (see
"Suitable location" on page EN-10).
Cleaning the appliance
• Make sure that the appliance mains plug
is removed from the socket and that the
appliance has cooled down completely.
• Wipe the appliance housing regularly with
a damp cloth.
• Remove the filter basket (2) and the jug (4)
with the jug lid (3) and clean them with
washing-up water. Then dry the parts ca-
refully.
• Rinse 1–2 times with the maximum
amount of clear water.
Descaling the appliance
How often you need to descale the appliance
will depend on your water hardness. More or
less scale will form depending on how hard
your water is.
Regular descaling will
– prolong the life of the appliance,
– ensure that it works properly,
– prevent excessive steam,
– shorten brewing times,
– save energy.
1. Use 1 litre of descaling liquid according to
manufacturer instructions.
2. Make sure that the appliance mains
plug (6) is removed from the socket and
the appliance has cooled down comple-
tely.
3. Pour the descaling liquid into the
water tank (9) up to the
10
mark on the
water level indicator (8).
4. Insert the filter basket (2) (see "Full empty
cycle" on page EN-11).
5. Close the lid of the water tank (1). It must
click audibly into place.
6. Insert the mains plug (6) into a properly
installed and easily accessible socket.
7. Press the On/Off button (7) to switch on.
The On/Off button (7) lights up red. De-
scaling begins.
8. Pour the descaling liquid away after it has
run through.
9. Rinse 1–2 times with the maximum
amount of clear water.
10. Pull the mains plug (6) out of the socket
when you are not using the appliance.
