8. DECALCIFICATION
Depending on the hardness of the water
in your area and the frequency of use, the
appliance's tubes may become obstructed
by lime. You will know that this has
occurred when the filtering process starts
taking longer than normal. To prevent this,
you should decalcify your coffeemaker
by either using a commercial decalcifying
agent specially designed for coffeemakers,
or by following the instructions given
below:
• Fill the jug with a 1/4 vinegar 3/4 water
solution.
• Pour the solution into the deposit and
switch the coffeemaker on. Allow the
solution to drip down into the jug.
• Repeat this process 2 or 3 times,
depending on the extent of calcification.
• After the lime has been removed, run an
empty filtering process (with water but
no coffee) 2 or 3 times to remove any
remains of the water/vinegar solution.
• We recommend that you decalcify your
coffeemaker once every 4 weeks.
9. INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES
At the end of its working
life, the product must not be
disposed of as urban waste.
It must be taken to a special
local authority differentiated
waste collection centre or
to a dealer providing this
service. Disposing of a
household appliance separately avoids
possible negative consequences for the
environment and health deriving from
inappropriate disposal and enables the
constituent materials to be recovered to
obtain significant savings in energy and
resources.
To remind you that you must collaborate
with a selective collection scheme, the
symbol shown appears on the product
warning you not to dispose of it in
traditional refuse containers.
For further information, contact your local
authority or the shop where you bought the
product.
