insuffi
cient descaling.
 A lengthening of the brewing time and
increased noise during brewing indicate 
that descaling of the coff ee maker has 
become necessary.
 An excessive build-up of lime deposits
is very diffi
cult to remove, even when
strong descaling agents are used. It may 
also cause the brewing system to leak. We 
therefore strongly recommend descaling 
the appliance aft er each thirty to forty 
brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar 
solution may be used as follows:
– Mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with the
indicated maximum amount of cold 
water.
– Pour the descaling solution into the water
container, insert a paper fi lter into the 
fi lter holder without adding any ground 
coff ee as described in section Making 
coff ee, and let the appliance run through 
one fi ltration cycle. Repeat the procedure 
if necessary. During descaling, ensure 
suffi
cient ventilation and do not inhale
any vinegar vapours.
– To clean the appliance aft er descaling, let
it run through 2-3 fi ltration cycles using 
clean water only.
– Do not pour descalers down enamel
sinks.
Cleaning and care
 Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and 
has cooled down completely. 
 To avoid the risk of electric shock do not
immerse the coff ee maker in water. Th
e
appliance may be cleaned with a slightly 
damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe 
dry aft erwards. 
 Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
– To remove the used ground coff ee, open
the water container lid, then open and lift 
out the swing-out fi lter. Dispose of the 
paper fi lter and the coff ee grounds (as a 
natural substance the coff ee grounds may 
be composted). Rinse out the swing-out 
fi lter before it is replaced. Close the swing-
out fi lter and the close the water container 
lid. 
– Th
e glass carafe may be cleaned with
warm water aft er use. Wipe dry aft erwards
– Both glass carafe and lid are dish-washer
safe.
Cable storage compartment
Th
e compartment at the rear of the unit
makes storing the power cable easy and also 
allows you to limit its length during use.

appliances in domestic garbage; 
this should only be done through
