Note: It is essential to observe the
following instructions for cleaning.
7.1 Cleaning the coffee grinder
The grinder funnel occasionally
needs to be cleaned (at the latest
when it blocks!) to keep it clear of
oily coffee residues. Follow the
instructions below (when the bean
container is empty!):
➔ First unplug the machine.
➔ Hold the grinder funnel cover
(fig. 10) by the front and lift the
cover slowly off towards the front.
➔ Open the water reservoir lid
(fig. 4) and remove the aroma pro-
tection cover (fig. 8).
➔ Place a filter in the filter holder
and swing it out to the left until it
clicks into grinding position.
➔ Remove any coffee residues
from the grinder funnel (fig. 11),
not forgetting the rear section of
the funnel, using a suitable instru-
ment (e.g. a clean paint brush), so
that it falls into the filter paper. A
suitable vacuum cleaner accessory
also works well.
➔ Wipe out the grinder funnel and
empty bean container with a dry
cloth.
➔ Press the release button (fig. 9)
to swing the filter back into brew -
ing position.
➔ Empty the filter paper and put
the grinder funnel cover back on
(push it in at the front until it
audibly clicks into place).
➔ Finally make sure the aroma
protection cover is correctly fitted,
and shut the water reservoir lid.
The machine is now operational
again.
Tip: If lighter coffee beans are
used, the grinder funnel does not
need to be cleaned as regularly as
when darker, oilier coffee beans
are used.
Avoid blockages in the grinder
funnel as follows:
➔ Do not use frozen coffee beans,
as thawing causes condensation
which can cause blockages.
➔ Do not swing the filter out into
the grinding position immediately
after brewing, as the steam rising
from the coffee grounds can cause
blockages.
➔ Do not place the coffee machine
next to a hob or deep fryer, as fat
can cause blockages.
➔ Always keep the coffee bean
container closed, and occasionally
wipe out any oily coffee residues
using a dry cloth.
