care and maintenance
1 Unplug the coffee maker and let it cool down before cleaning or storing away.
2 Tip the contents of the filter into the bin – don’t flush coffee grounds down the sink. They’ll
build up and cause a blockage.
3 You may clean the carafe, filter, and filter holder in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly
afterwards, to remove all traces of soap.
4 Clean the outside surfaces of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.
5 Clean the inside of the coffee mill with a pastry brush.
6 Remove the cover in front of the coffee mill by pressing the hole marked j with a cocktail
stick, and sliding the cover forward.
7 Clean the inside with a pastry brush, then slide the cover back into place.
8 Don’t put any part of the coffee maker in a dishwasher.
9 Don’t put the coffee maker in water or any other liquid.
10 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
descaling
11 Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It will also
lengthen the brewing time.
12 Descale regularly. If you notice the brewing time getting longer, shorten the time between
descalings. In areas of very hard water it may be necessary to descale as often as once a
month, or to use filtered water instead of ordinary tap water.
13 Use a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic-bodied products. Follow the
instructions on the package of descaler. When descaling has finished, empty the carafe and
operate the coffee maker twice more with fresh water, but without coffee. Discard the water
to ensure that no chemical residues are left in the coffee maker.
, Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.
