Cleaning and Descaling

CAUTION!
■ Danger of burns! The hotplate, fi lter and fi lter holder are hot after use! Let these
parts cool down before you touch them.
■ The device is not dishwasher-safe. Only the coffee jug, the fi lter holder, the collecting
tray and the grid can be cleaned in the upper compartment of the dishwasher.
■ Never immerse the device, the mains cable or the plug in water.
■ Remove the mains plug from the plug socket before cleaning the device!
■ Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning. These can damage
the surface.
1. Make sure that the device is switched off and not connected to the mains power!
2. Remove the fi lter holder from the fi lter compartment and dispose of the fi lter with the
coffee grounds.
3. Clean the fi lter holder and the jug with hot water and a little detergent or in the upper
compartment of a dishwasher.
4. You can remove the collecting tray and the grid of the hot water dispenser and also
clean them with hot water and a little detergent or in the upper compartment of a
dishwasher.
5. If necessary, wipe down the outside of the device with a damp cloth and then wipe it
with a dry cloth.
Descaling
If the water only runs very slowly through the device or the device is louder than usual
during the brewing process, you should descale it. Use a standard commercial descaling
agent for coffee machines to descale the device. Descale both the water tank of the cof-
fee machine and the hot water tank as follows:
1. Pour a mixture of water and descaling agent into the water tank and switch on the
device (without any coffee powder). Consult the instructions for using the descaling
agent with regard to the ratio of water to descaling agent.
2. Let the mixture run through the machine completely. Repeat this procedure if the
water still runs through slowly.
3. After descaling, let water without coffee powder run through the device at least three
times to fl ush the pipes etc.
