on glass can in some circumstances
lead to breakage.

damage, make sure you remove any
spillages or splashes of descaling
agent immediately.
To avoid damaging the surfaces, do not
use:

ammonia, acids or chlorides

Cleaning the drip tray and
waste container

Danger of burning and scalding
on hot components or by hot liquids.
Components can become very hot
during operation. Touching hot
components can cause burning. The
liquids and steam dispensed are very
hot and can cause scalding.
If the pipework has just been rinsed,
wait a while before removing the drip
tray from the coffee machine.
Please be aware that water in the
drip tray can also be very hot.
Do not touch hot components.
Clean the drip tray and waste
container every day to avoid
unpleasant smells and mould.
A prompt will appear in the coffee
machine's display when the drip tray
and/or the waste container is full and
needs to be emptied. Empty the drip
tray and the waste container. The lid
does not need to be taken off the drip
tray in order to empty it.
