clockwise about half a turn so that the
arrow on the lid is aligned with the pouring
spout.
e interior of the heat-retaining carafe –
insert consists of high quality double-
walled glass with a vacuum in-between for
better insulation. Any streaks or bubble
marks inside the carafe looking like bubbles
or scratches do not a ect its functional use
nor its heat-retaining ability.
In case the glass is damaged for one or the
other reason as mentioned below, there is a
risk that the glass carafe implodes. is might
happen quite some time a er the glass carafe
has actually been damaged.
erefore do not drink out of the carafe z
and do not put your hand into it. Always
close the carafe with its screw cap. Do not
leave the vacuum carafe unattended near
where children may reach it.
To prevent damage to the glass carafe:
Avoid shocks and great di erences in –
temperature.
Do not stir in the carafe, for example with –
a metal spoon.
Do not use hard brushes or abrasive –
cleaning agents.
Do not wipe the inside with a cloth. Dust –
particles may cut the glass (similar to a
glass-cutter).
Do not wash in a dishwasher. –
Do not use in a microwave oven. –
Descaling
Depending on the water quality (lime z
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need descaling
(i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular
basis to warrant proper functioning. Any
warranty claim will be null and void if
the appliance malfunctions because of
insu cient descaling.
A lengthening of the brewing time and z
increased noise during brewing indicate
that descaling of the co ee maker has
become necessary.
If the appliance switches o as a result of a z
lime deposit build-up, some residual water
remains in the container. Caution: Allow
it to cool down rst before switching on
again with the start button. e co ee
maker must be descaled immediately once
operation is nished.
An excessive build-up of lime deposits z
is very di 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 a 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 lter into the
lter holder without adding any ground
co ee as described in section Making
co ee, and let the appliance run through
one ltration cycle. Repeat the procedure
if necessary. During descaling, ensure
su cient ventilation and do not inhale
any vinegar vapours.
To clean the appliance a er descaling, let –
it run through 2-3 ltration cycles using
clean water only.
Do not pour descalers down enamel –
sinks.
Cleaning and care
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is z
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
To avoid the risk of electric shock do not z
immerse the co ee maker in water. e
appliance may be cleaned with a slightly
damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe
dry a erwards.
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning z
solutions.
To remove the used ground co ee, open –
the swing-out lter and li out the lter
insert. Dispose of the ground co ee (as a
