the appliance malfunctions because of
insuffi cient descaling.
 A lengthening of the brewing time and
increased noise during brewing indicate
that descaling of the coff ee maker has
become necessary.
 An excessive build-up of lime deposits
is very diffi cult to remove, even when
strong descaling agents are used. It may
also cause the brewing system to leak. We
therefore strongly recommend descaling
the appliance aft er each thirty to forty
brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar
solution may be used as follows:
– Mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar with 250 ml
of cold water.
– Pour the descaling solution into the water
container, insert a paper fi lter into the
fi lter holder without adding any ground
coff ee as described in section Making
coff ee, and let the appliance run through
one fi ltration cycle. Repeat the procedure
if necessary. During descaling, ensure
suffi cient ventilation and do not inhale
any vinegar vapours.
– To clean the appliance aft er descaling, let
it run through 2-3 fi ltration cycles using
clean water only.
– Do not pour descalers down enamel
sinks.
Cleaning and care
 Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
 To avoid the risk of electric shock do not
immerse the coff ee maker in water. Th e
appliance may be cleaned with a slightly
damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe
dry aft erwards.
 Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
– To remove the used ground coff ee, open
the cover and remove the fi lter holder.
Dispose of the paper fi lter and the coff ee
grounds (as a natural substance the coff ee
grounds may be composted). Rinse out
the fi lter holder, replace it and close the
cover.
– Th e glass carafe may be cleaned with
warm water aft er use. Wipe dry aft erwards
Disposal
Do not dispose of old or defective
appliances in domestic garbage;
this should only be done through
public collection points.
