HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOUR OF THE
DRIP COFFEE
With the flavour selector, the flavour of the drip
coffee can be selected according to personal taste.
By turning the flavour selector knob (Fig. 11), the
coffee maker can be set for coffee with a strong
(STRONG position) or light aftertaste (LIGHT posi-
tion).
The flavour selector changes the strength of the
aftertaste of the coffee, while the actual taste
remains the same.
WARNING: the first time coffee is prepared, all
the accessories and internal circuits of the machi-
ne must be washed as follows:
Make at least two jugs of coffee without using
ground coffee (following the instructions in the
paragraph How to prepare the drip coffee).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance
operations, turn the machine off, unplug it from the
power socket and allow it to cool down.
1. When cleaning the coffee maker, do not use
solvents or abrasive detergents. A soft, damp
cloth is sufficient.
2. Never immerse the coffee maker in water: it is
an electrical appliance.
CLEANING THE FLAVOUR SELECTOR
To clean the flavour selector more efficiently, it can
be removed from the filter holder cone by sliding it
upwards (Fig. 11). To replace, simply slide in from
above.

DESCALING
If the water in your local area is hard, lime scale
will form over time. These deposits may affect the
correct operation of the appliance.
The coffee maker must be descaled every 40
cycles. The descaling process may be performed
using special commercially-available scale remo-
vers for drip coffee makers. Alternatively, white
wine vinegar can be used as follows:
1. Remove the chlorine filter.
2. Pour 2 cups of white wine vinegar and 3 cups
of water into the tank. Place the tank in the cof-
fee maker;
3. Place the jug on the warming plate, do not put
any ground coffee in the filter holder;
4. Press the drip coffee ON/OFF switch, percola-
te the equivalent of one cup and then switch off
the appliance;
5. Leave the vinegar to act for one hour;
6. Switch the coffee maker back on and percola-
te the rest of the solution;
7. To rinse the machine, operate it with water and
without ground coffee at least 3 times (3 com-
plete tanks of water).
