13. Maintenance and cleaning
Neither the coffee machine nor the accessories are dishwasher-safe!
Clean the product after use. Do not immerse the product including the mains cable in water or other liquids!
Disconnect the product from the mains before cleaning and wait for the product to fully cool down to room
temperature. Please note that the keeping-warm plate cools down slowly.
• Never use aggressive cleaning agents (except for suitable descaling agents), rubbing alcohol or chemical solutions,
as those could damage the housing or even affect the functioning of the device. Do not use hard or scratching
brushes, sponges, or similar.
• Despite occasional cleaning, the product is maintenance-free. There are no components located inside the product
you need to maintain. Never dismantle the product.
• Open the lid of the water tank and remove the permanent lter and lter holder. Empty the permanent lter and
rinse it under running water.
• Rinse the glass jar with lid, lter holder and measuring cup under warm water.
• Clean the exterior surface of the coffee machine and the keeping-warm plate with a clean, soft and slightly damp
cloth. Clean the mains cable with a dry cloth.
• After having cleaned and dried all parts, reinstall the lter holder and permanent lter, close the lid of the water tank,
and then place the glass jar with closed lid on the keeping-warm plate.
14. Descaling
Descale the water tank from time to time. The periods in-between depend on the hardness of the water and the
frequency of use.
• Use a commercially available liquid descaling agent for descaling and dose according to manufacturer instructions.
Never use vinegar.
• Fill the water tank with descaling solution and leave it according to manufacturer instruction.
• Turn on the product and start brewing with the solution of water and descaling agent.
• Then dispose of the descaling solution in the glass jar.
• After descaling, brew water for three or four times in order to remove any residue of the descaling solution.
• The descaling solution and its residue are not suitable for consumption. Pour the solution and the boiled water
away.
• Then clean the glass jar, permanent lter and lter holder as described in chapter “13. Maintenance and cleaning”.
