Cleaning the glass jug
Hard water may leave white, mineral residues inside the glass jug. The coffee itself
normally discolors these residues and leaves brown marks. In order to remove these
residues follow the steps below:
1. Take a half-and-half solution of water and vinegar.
2. Leave this solution in the glass jug for about 20 minutes and pour it
out afterwards.
3. Rinse the glass jug thoroughly and wipe it dry using a dry, soft cloth.
Do not use any kind of abrasive agents as this could cause scratches
which could again result in cracks.
Storing the device
o If the device is not used for a longer time, clean the device according to the above
mentioned instructions and store it in a dry, clean place protected against frost, sun
and children. Do not place any heavy objects on the device.
