cleaning and maintenance

Regularly clean the coffee machine. This is not only beneficial for the life span of the appliance, it also ensures optimum use of the
appliance and, of course, good tasting coffee.
Cleaning should involve the following:
• Prior to cleaning, always check that the coffee machine is switched off, cooled down and that the plug has been removed from
the socket.
• Remove all separate components of the appliance and clean them after each use in hot water and a mild washing-up liquid.
Then rinse thoroughly with hot water and wipe dry.
• Regularly clean the outside of the appliance and the hot plate with a slightly damp cloth and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
Clean the interior of the bean reservoir in the same way.
Attention! The grinding system in the coffee bean holder is very sharp. Avoid touching it.
• Place back all components correctly in the appliance.
Attention:
• Never use aggressive and/or abrasive cleaning agents when cleaning.
• Never submerge the appliance, cord or plug in water.

de-scaling

Regularly de-scale your coffee machine. The de-scaling intervals depend on the hardness of the mains water and the frequency at
which the coffee machine is being used. We recommend de-scaling the coffee machine approximately after each 60 times of making
coffee. Due to scaling, the heating element can become obstructed. This causes overheating, as a result of which the coffee machine
is switched off automatically as a safety precaution and will no longer function. The coffee machine will have to be repaired. You can
de-scale the coffee machine with a special de-scaling agent for coffee machines or with kitchen grade vinegar. If you use a special
de-scaling agent for coffee machines, you must observe the instructions on the packaging of this agent.
When using kitchen grade vinegar, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the appliance by pressing the on/off (
properly and remove all separate components.
2. To remove any remaining water, hold the appliance upside down above the sink.
3. Place all separate components back in the appliance and place an empty filter bag in the filter holder. Fill the water reservoir with
clean, cold water and cold kitchen grade vinegar up to the MAX 12 mark. The water and kitchen grade vinegar ratio should be 4:1.
4. Insert the plug in an earthed socket and switch on the appliance by pressing the on/off button (
5. Check that the grinding system is switched off, the button
button once and it will light up in red.
6. Press the on/off button (
7. The de-scaling process has been completed when the water reservoir and coffee filter are empty. Empty the glass jug and remove
the filter bag from the filter holder, once the appliance has cooled down. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to allow any remaining water to run
out of the water reservoir and place all separate components back in the appliance.
8. After de-scaling, allow a full reservoir of cold water to flow through the appliance at least 3 times, to remove all de-scaling liquid and
vinegar residues and thus prevent a sour taste in the coffee.
Attention! If the coffee machine has not been used for some time, e.g. due to vacation, it is recommended to remove and clean all
separate components. Then place the cleaned separate components back in their place and allow the coffee
run with clean water. In this way you will prevent a possible foreign taste.
