Cleaning & maintenance
GB
• ATTENTION! Always disconnect the appliance from the elec-
trical mains and cool down before storage, cleaning & main-
tenance.
• Do not use water jet or steam cleaner for cleaning and do not
push the appliance under the water as the parts will get wet
and electric shock might be resulted.
• If the appliance is not kept in a good state of cleanliness, this
can adversely affect the life of the appliance and result in a
dangerous situation.
• Food residues should be regularly cleaned and removed from
the appliance. If the appliance is not cleaned properly, it will
reduce its lifespan and may result in a dangerous condition
during use.
Cleaning
• Clean the cooled exterior surface with a cloth or sponge
slightly dampened with a mild soap solution.
• For reasons of hygiene, the appliance should be cleaned be-
fore and after use.
• Avoid water contacting the electrical components.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
• Never use aggressive cleaning agents, abrasive sponges, or
cleaning agents containing chlorine. Do not use steel wool,
metallic utensils, or any sharp or pointed objects for cleaning.
Do not use petrol or solvents!
• Clean and descale the boiler base at regular intervals (see
chapter "Descaling")
• No parts are dishwasher safe.
Maintenance
• Check the operation of the appliance regularly to prevent se-
rious accidents.
• If you see that the appliance is not working properly or that
there is a problem, stop using it, switch it off and contact the
supplier.
• All maintenance, installation and repair work must be car-
ried out by specialised and authorised technicians, or recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Transportation and Storage
• Before storage, always make sure that the appliance has
been disconnected from the power supply and completely
cooled down.
• Store the appliance in a cool, clean and dry place.
• Never place heavy objects on the appliance as this could
damage it.
• Do not move the appliance while it is under operation. Dis-
connect the appliance from power supply when moving and
hold it at the bottom.
Descaling
Note: Descale the coffee machine regularly. The intervals de-
pend mainly on frequency of use & the quality of the water.
After some time limestone deposits will build up on the heating
element. To keep the appliance in optimum condition and to
ensure that your coffee retains its delicious flavour, we recom-
mend that you de-scale the appliance on a regular basis.
• To de-scale use a de-scaling agent that is suitable for cof-
fee makers. You can also use pure lemon juice, citric acid or
cleaning vinegar as a de-scaling agent. To ensure the proper
8
mixture, read the instructions supplied with the agent. For
pure lemon juice or cleaning vinegar the general mixture ap-
plies of 1/3 cleaning vinegar or lemon juice to 2/3 water.
• Place the filter pan in the holder.
• Place an empty coffee pot under the filter pan.
• Pour the water with the solution in the water reservoir.
• Turn the power switch ON.
• The water that is still in the appliance will now pass through
it. As soon as the solution begins to flow through the appli-
ance, turn it off.
• Wait 5-6 minutes to give the solution time to break down
the calcium in the appliance. Turn the appliance on again so
the solution (now containing the calcium deposits) can pass
through it.
• When all of the solution has passed through the appliance,
turn the appliance off and throw the solution away.
• Pour clean water in the water reservoir and allow it to flow
through the appliance (see steps 1 to 5 of Operating instruc-
tions) until the smell and taste of the solution are completely
gone.
• The appliance can now be used again.
