close the carafe with its screw cap. The
coffee can be poured out easily by half a
turn of the cap, without removing the
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 differences 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
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.
● A lengthening of the brewing time and
increased noise during brewing indicate
that descaling of the coffee maker has
become necessary.
● An excessive build-up of lime deposits is
very difficult 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 after 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 filter into the
filter holder without adding any ground
coffee as described in section Making
coffee, and let the appliance run through
one filtration cycle. Repeat the
procedure if necessary. During descaling,
ensure sufficient ventilation and do not
inhale any vinegar vapours.
-
To clean the appliance after descaling, let
it run through 2-3 filtration 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 coffee maker in water. The
appliance may be cleaned with a slightly
damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe
dry afterwards.
● Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
-
To remove the used ground coffee, open
the swing-out filter by pressing the filter
release, and lift out the filter insert.
Dispose of the ground coffee (as a
natural substance, it may be composted).
Rinse out the filter insert before it is
replaced. Replace the filter in such way
that the grip area sits properly in the
recess on the swing-out filter. Close the
swing-out filter, ensuring that it locks into
place.
● Do not dismantle the carafe, do not wash
in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in
water.
-
Rinse the inside of the carafe with water
and wipe the outside with a clean damp
cloth after use.
-
To remove coffee deposits from the
inside of the carafe, fill it with hot water
and add a teaspoon of dishwasher
detergent. Close the screw-in lid and
leave the carafe for some hours. Rinse
out thoroughly with water afterwards.
