6.3 Cleaning the thermos jug
Warning:
B
Do not immerse the thermos jug in water
or any other liquid and do not clean it in the
dishwasher.
•
To remove the lid from the thermos jug, turn
it by its lever to the 'remove lid' symbol. Then
pull the lid off the jug (Fig. 34).
•
Clean the inside of the thermos jug with a
soft brush, hot water and some washing-up
liquid (Fig. 35).
Tip:
E
To remove stubborn brown deposits, fill the
jug with hot water and add a spoonful of
sodium carbonate. Let the sodium carbonate
do its work for some time.
•
After cleaning, rinse the thermos jug with
fresh hot water (Fig. 36).
•
To put the lid on the thermos jug, insert the
two projections of the lid into the openings
in the rim of the jug. Then turn the lid to the
right to the 'closed/brewing' symbol. (Fig. 37)
6.4 Descaling the coffeemaker
When the message 'CALC' appears on the display
(after approx. 60 brewing processes), you need
to descale the coffeemaker, as scale can clog the
coffeemaker.
Regular descaling prolongs the life of the
coffeemaker and guarantees optimal brewing
results and a constant brewing time for a long
time. Descale the coffeemaker:
•
every 120 brewing cycles if you use soft water
(up to 18dH).
•
every 60 brewing cycles if you use hard water
(over 18dH).
You can contact your local water board for
information about the water hardness in your
area.
Note:
D
If you do not know the water hardness in your
area and are unable to contact your local water
board, we advise you to descale the appliance
every time the 'CALC' message appears on the
display.
Note:
D
To remove the 'CALC' message from the display,
press the 4-10 cups button and the STRENGTH
button simultaneously.
Open the water reservoir lid.
1
Fill the water reservoir with 7 cups of white
2
vinegar (5% acetic acid) and 3 cups of
water (Fig. 38).
Place a paper filter (no. 4) in the filter basket
3
and close the filter basket holder.
Put the empty thermos jug in the
4
appliance (Fig. 7).
Put the mains plug in the wall socket.
