cleaner, creams or scourers. Never immerse the appliance in water when cleaning.
Thoroughly rinse the coffee pot and the plastic filter several times in clean water
and allow to dry. Avoid strong detergents or solvents which taint the taste of your

Place the coffee pot in the coffee maker and press the ON/OFF switch: during
cleaning the appliance may produce more steam than normal.
When the water has reduced to half the original level:
Switch the unit off. Wait until liquid has stopped dripping into the pot, remove the
filter and pot.

and replace the filter.
Switch on the coffee maker and this time let all the liquid empty into the pot. After
the dripping has stopped, switch off and discard the contents of the pot.

several pots of fresh cold water.
