Cleaning And Descaling - Medion Micromaxx MD 15486 Instruction Manual

7.5. Cleaning and descaling

Allow the coffee machine to cool down before cleaning it and pull the plug out of
the mains socket. Remove the glass jug and, if necessary, both filters from the de-
vice.
 Only clean the outside of the coffee machine using a damp cloth and, if neces-
sary, some mild washing-up liquid. In particular, remove any coffee stains from
the warming plate.
 You can wash the glass jug in a dishwasher. If you wash the jug by hand, do not
use any abrasive items or products that could damage the glass!
 The filter insert can be cleaned by hand.
7.5.1. Emptying the grinder
If you intend to store the coffee machine or not use it for a long period of time, it
is necessary to empty the grinder because otherwise any beans remaining in the
grinder could become mouldy.
 Remove the glass jug and the filter insert and make sure that the water tank is
empty.
 Tilt the machine so that any remaining beans fall out of the top of the coffee
bean container.
 Return the coffee machine to an upright position and plug it into the mains
socket.
 Open the filter compartment.
WARNING! ROTATING PARTS!
Never touch the grinding mechanism if the filter com-
partment is open or the device is operating. There is a
risk of incurring a crush injury!
 If necessary, place a small bowl on the warming plate.
 Start a brewing process using coffee beans, although without adding any water
or beans.
 Once the remaining coffee stops falling out of the bottom of the grinder, press
the PAUSE/START button to cancel the brewing process.
WARNING!
Do not allow the brewing process to run "dry" for
longer than 1 minute. There is a risk of overheating
that could result in damage to the device!
 Remove the plug from the mains socket once the process has been completed.
