SEVERIN KA 4489 Instrucciones De Uso página 12

∙ To remove the coffee grounds, open
the swing-out fi lter, bring the handle of
the fi lter insert to a vertical position and
lift it out. Dispose of the coffee grounds
(as a natural substance, they may be
composted).
∙ Rinse out the fi lter and replace it, folding
down the handle and locking it. Ensure
that the arrow marks on the fi lter insert
match those on the swing-out fi lter itself.
∙ Close the swing-out fi lter.
∙ The glass carafe may be cleaned
with warm water after use. Wipe dry
afterwards.
Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality (lime
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need
descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits)
on a regular basis to warrant proper
functioning.
∙ Any warranty claim will be null and
void if the appliance malfunctions
because of insuffi cient descaling.
∙ A lengthening of the brewing time and
increased noise during brewing indicate
that descaling of the coffee 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 after each thirty to forty
brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar
solution may be used as follows:
∙ Mix 80 ml of vinegar essence with the
indicated maximum amount 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 coffee as described in section
Making coffee, 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 after descaling,
let it run through 2-3 fi ltration cycles
using clean water only.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel
sinks.
