mild detergent. Rinse with clean water to remove all soap residues and dry
thoroughly.
4. Wipe the outside of the coffee maker and the interior of the filter compartment
with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent solution. Dry
completely with a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE: Water droplets may build up in the filter compartment or on the underside of
the lid (4). Wipe dry after each use.
5. Periodically fill the water tank (5) with cold water to rinse it. The water tank (5)
is not removable. Tip the water out to empty it or press the ON/OFF switch (9)
to the on position I and run the coffee machine through a brewing cycle. Make
sure the coffee pot (7) and the empty filters (1/2) are in place.
NOTE: Do not clean the water tank with a cloth or detergent as this may leave
residues that can clog your coffee maker.
Descaling
Limescale is present in tap water and will build up over a period of time depending
on how hard or soft the water is in your area.
Descale your coffee maker once every 3 months if you live in an area with soft
water, or once every month if you live in an area with hard water. Regular descaling
ensures proper function, product longevity and saves energy.
To descale with a commercially available descaling solution:
• Choose a descaler suitable for plastic coffee makers and follow the package
instructions.
• Make sure you rinse the coffee maker fully after descaling to flush out any
chemical residues.
To descale with white vinegar:
1. Open the lid (4).
2. Fill the water tank (5) to the MAX level with a vinegar solution of 50 percent
water and 50 percent white vinegar. You can increase the amount of vinegar if
your coffee maker is particularly dirty.
3. Make sure the coffee pot (7) and the empty filters, (1/2) are in place.
4. Press the ON/OFF switch (9) to the on position I to start brewing.
5. After brewing 2 cups, press the ON/OFF switch (9) to the off position O and let
the solution stand for 15 minutes.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the water tank is empty.
7. Fill the water tank with fresh water and brew at least 3 times to remove any
trace of the vinegar solution.
Tips to reduce scale build up
• Empty the water tank after each use.
• Do not allow water to stand overnight in the water tank.
• Use filtered water instead of tap water or mineral water.
NOTE:
• Always clean the appliance before storing it for a long time.
• Store the appliance in its original packaging in a cool, dust-free, dry
environment away from direct sunlight.
