Cleaning and Maintenance
Be sure to unplug this appliance before cleaning. To protect against electrical
shock, do not immerse the mains cable, mains plug or the appliance in water or
liquids. After each use, always make sure the mains plug is first removed from the
mains socket.
1. Clean the filter, jug and jug lid after each use in hot, soapy water.
2. Wipe the appliance’s exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains. Do not
use strong detergents or aggressive cleaners.
3. Water droplets may build up in the area above the filter and drip onto the product base
during brewing. To control the dripping, wipe off the area with a clean, dry cloth after
use.
4. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the warming plate. Never use abrasive cleaners to clean
it.
Cleaning Mineral Deposits
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should regularly clean mineral deposits
left by the water. The amount of mineral deposit will depend on the water quality in your
area and the frequency of use.
When the Clean button lights up, it indicates that you should clean the mineral deposit in
the unit.
Press the Clean button to switch thew light off. Fill the jug with one part white vinegar and
three parts cold water. Pour the water and vinegar mixture into the tank (do not place any
coffee grounds in the appliance). Heat the water-vinegar solution as per steps 1-6 in the
section “Manual Operation”. Repeat until no yellow liquid comes out, then pour away the
mixture. Clean the filter, funnel, jug and jug lip with hot soapy water until no vinegar is left.
