■ Disconnect the plug from the mains power socket.
■ Wipe the housing of the coff ee machine with a damp cloth. For stubborn
soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth.
Clean the glass jug 7, the fi lter holder 8 and the measuring spoon 6 with
■
warm water. If need be, use also a mild detergent. Afterwards, rinse all parts
with clean water to ensure that all detergent residues are washed away.
■ Dry the appliance and all parts well before re-use.
The mineral content (hardness) in the water causes, over a period of time, a
calcifi cation of the coff ee machine. This calcifi cation impairs the appliance in
its function and diminishes the quality of the brewed fi lter coff ee.
NOTICE
► Enquire at your local waterworks about the hardness level of your mains
water. The need for decalcifi cation comes early in hard water areas,
somewhat later in soft water areas. Use a decalcifi er designed for house-
hold appliances and pay heed to the usage instructions.
1) Switch the coff ee machine off and allow it to cool down completely.
2) Use a commercial descaling product for coff ee machines: Mix the descaling
agent with water. Thereby, pay heed to the usage instructions supplied with
the descaling product.
3) Fill the water tank 2 to the 8-cup marking with the descaler and water
mixture.
4) Place the glass jug 7 on the keep-warm plate 4.
5) Switch the coff ee machine on with the On/Off switch 5.
6) Wait until the brewing process is complete. Switch the coff ee machine off
and disconnect the plug from the mains power socket.
7) Carefully rinse the glass jug 7 with water.
8) Fill the water tank 2 with drinking water.
9) Empty the water tank 2 again, in that you gently tip the appliance over the
sink. Thereby ensure that the fi lter holder 8 does not fall out.
10) To fi nish, carry out two brewing processes with just drinking water, as de-
scribed in the section "Before the fi rst usage".
When completed, you can continue to use the coff ee machine.
