Important
• Don’t replace the empty coffee pot on the hotplate after pouring the last of the coffee when the appliance is
switched on.
• Do not use the coffee pot if it is cracked or chipped.
• Never put ground coffee directly into the filter holder. Always make sure the reusable filter or a paper filter is
in place.
• The water tank should only be filled with cold water (or lemon juice when following the instructions for
descaling). Never put any other liquid in the tank. Never reheat previously-brewed coffee by putting it in the
water tank!
• Never put hot water in the water tank.
• Always let the coffee maker cool down before refilling the tank with cold water.
• Never leave water in the tank when the coffee maker isn’t being used.
• Always use a good quality ground coffee suitable for a filter coffee maker.
• If you grind your own coffee, make sure it’s not too fine for the filter.
• Always keep ground coffee in an airtight box in the fridge.

always switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains before cleaning it. Wait until
it has cooled down completely.
Never immerse the appliance in water, never spray it with water and never hold it under a
tap.
1. Clean the outside cover of the appliance with a damp, soft, lint-free cloth and then wipe the cleaned
surfaces with a dry lint-free cloth. Take care not to allow any moisture inside the cover. Let the appliance dry
completely before re-using or storing it.
2. When cleaning the appliance, never use solvent (acetone, benzole, petrol, alcohol, etc.) as these may solve the
casing material, or the internal parts of the appliance if they get into. Do not use cleaning agents with coarse
or grinding effect.
3. Never remove the cover of the appliance.
4. The reusable filter and the coffee pot can be washed in warm water with detergent. Never put them in a
dishwasher. After washing, rinse them in warm water and let them dry completely. Replace them on the
coffee maker when they’re dry.
5. The coffee maker should only be packed away for storage when it is completely cool and has been cleaned.
If you do not wish to use the appliance for a while, put it in a plastic bag and store it in a dry, dust-free place.
Make sure the water tank is completely dry to prevent any mould from forming. The mains cable must not be
wound round the appliance, even when stored, because this can cause the insulation to deteriorate or break.
Instructions for handling the glass coffee pot:
The glass coffee pot can break or crack if the following instructions are not followed:
a) The coffee pot has only been designed for use with this coffee maker. Do not use it for any other purposes.
b) Never put the coffee pot on an electric or gas hob. Never put the coffee pot in a microwave oven.
c) Do not place a hot coffee pot on a wet or cold surface.
d) Never clean the pot with a scouring liquid, with a scouring pad or with any other scouring material. Always
wash the coffee pot by hand and never put it in a dishwasher. Take particular care not to drop or knock it.
e) If you are making several batches of coffee, always pour out any remaining coffee and allow the pot to cool
down before making any more. A hot glass pot can crack if it is filled with cold water.
Important: Never use the coffee pot if the glass is cracked or chipped. Never use it if the handle is loose or has
moved.
De-scaling the coffee maker:
If the coffee maker is generating large amounts of steam or is taking longer than usual to brew your coffee, it is
time to de-scale the appliance. Scale is created when calcium (limescale) and other minerals separate from water
during heating. This can affect the flavour of your coffee, increase the brewing time and may even cause the
appliance to become faulty.
To prevent the unwanted effects of limescale, you should de-scale the appliance regularly. This should be carried
out at least 10-12 times per year. (This assumes the hardness of tap water is a maximum 18°dH / 22.5°Clarke). In
areas where the tap water is harder than 18°dH (22.5°Clarke), de-scaling should be carried out 12-15 times per
year. If you make coffee several times a day or live in an area where tap water is very hard, you should de-scale
the appliance after every 30-40 brewing cycles. Your local water company will be able to answer any questions
about water hardness. Regular de-scaling needs to be carried out by the user and is not covered by the product
guarantee.
