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.
Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do
not clean the appliance with liquids
or immerse it. The appliance may be
cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, using a
mild detergent. Wipe dry afterwards.

∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
∙ To remove the used ground coffee, open
the water container lid, then open and
lift out the swing-out fi lter. Dispose of the
paper fi lter and the coffee grounds (as a
natural substance the coffee grounds may
be com-posted). Rinse out the swing-out
fi lter before it is replaced. Close the
swing-out fi lter and the close the water
container lid.
∙ The glass carafe may be cleaned
with warm water after use. Wipe dry
afterwards
∙ Both glass carafe and lid are dish-washer
safe.
