Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning
Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.
Do not immerse the appliance in water, but instead just use a damp cloth and a little washing-up
liquid to clean its exterior.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The filter, glass jug and thermos jug can be cleaned under running water.

Scaling indicator

Scale deposits result in an extended brewing time and lower quality coffee. Limescale deposits also
lead to energy losses and impair the service life of the appliance.
The automatic scaling indicator determines the time for the next descaling cycle. Depending on the
coffee consumption, the Start/Stop button (1) will flash blue/white during brewing to prompt you to
descale the appliance after 4 to 6 weeks.
Descaling - Anti-limescale program
Descaling agent
We recommend using Cromargol®. This product is highly effective, food safe and is
neutral in taste and smell. Thanks to its special care formula with six high-quality
and protective additives, Cromargol® is also very gentle on materials.
You can usually purchase Cromargol® from the store where you purchased your
appliance or from your chosen dealer. The Cromargol® decalcifier is only available
in Germany and Austria.
You can also use a commercially available descaling agent that is suitable for filter
coffee machines.

damaged.
Descaling programme
Your coffee machine has an automatic descaling programme.
Note: Once the descaling programme has started it must not be interrupted. This is for the safety of
all users. It prevents coffee from being brewed accidentally while the descaling solution has not yet
been fully rinsed away. In case of emergency, you can interrupt the descaling programme by pressing
the Start-Stop button. In this case you should rinse the tank and then fill it to the 8-cup mark
(version with glass jug) or to the 6-cup mark (version with thermos jug) with fresh tap water and
allow this to run through the machine.
▪ Insert the paper filter and place the jug in the machine. Any more substantial amounts of limescale
residue collect on the filter paper, thus preventing the outlet valve from clogging.
▪ Add a portion (100 ml) of Cromargol® to the water tank and top off with tap water to the 8-cup
mark (version with glass jug) or to the 6-cup mark (version with thermos jug).
