carafe immediately on the warming
plate again.
• When there is no more coffee in the
carafe, unplug the coffee maker and wait
about 10 minutes for it to cool down
before making more coffee or cleaning it.
Keeping the coffee hot
• If the coffee maker has not been
switched off using the "0" button (g), the
warming plate will continue to function,
keeping the coffee at drinking
temperature.
• After 2 hours the appliance will switch off
automatically.
Precautions when making coffee
• Use only cold water. Never use warm or
hot water. Do not use any other liquids
apart from water.
• The carafe lid must be correctly fitted to
prevent overflow of the water flowing into
the filter. This is necessary to open the
anti-drip valve allowing water to flow to
the carafe.
• Wait for the coffee maker to cool down
before filling the tank again, as otherwise
steam may be produced with a risk of
burns.
• The water gets very hot during the coffee
making process and could cause burns.
The filter basket must therefore not be
turned during the process.
• Do not touch the warming plate as it
heats up and could cause burns.
Anti-drip valve
The anti-drip valve closes when the carafe
is removed from the warming plate. By
means of this device you may remove the
carafe to serve a cup of coffee before the
filtering process is complete. The carafe
should only be removed during the filtering
process when at least two cups of coffee
have been filtered into the carafe.
Important: The carafe must be put back
in place as soon as the coffee has been
served in order for the filtering process to
resume.

5. CLEANING AND CARE

• Before cleaning the coffee maker, switch
it off using the "0" button, unplug it and
wait for it to cool down.
• Do not submerge the appliance in water
or place it under the tap.
• The carafe, carafe lid and filter holder
can be washed in the dishwasher (top
rack only).
• Clean the outside of the coffee maker
with a damp cloth. Do not use detergent
or abrasive products to clean it.
6. DESCALING
• Depending on water hardness and
frequency of use, obstructions may be
caused by water scale. If this happens,
you will notice that the filtering process is
taking longer than normal. To prevent this
from happening the coffee maker must be
descaled.
• If you use the coffee maker frequently, it
should be descaled as follows:
- for soft water up to 7 H (0-1.4 mol/m
once a year
- for medium-hard water, 7-14 dH (1.24-
2.5 mol/m 3 ) = quarterly
- for hard water, 14 dH or more
(2.5-3.75 mol/m 3 ) = monthly
In case of doubt, consult the water
hardness in your area at the local water
board or town hall.
• Use acetic acid or salad vinegar for
descaling, as other decalcifying agents
could damage the conduction system.
• Dissolve 2 spoonfuls in half a litre of water
and pour this mixture into the water tank. If
you are using vinegar fill the carafe with
one part vinegar and three parts water and
pour into the water tank.
• Switch on the coffee maker (in the same way
as for making coffee, but with no filter or
coffee) and allow the solution to flow through
the system. Repeat this operation 2 or 3
times depending on the degree of scale.
• Lastly, fill the tank with cold water and run
the coffee maker 2 or 3 times to remove
any residues.
