CLEANING

When cleaning the appliance, mind the sharp edges.

Before cleaning, turn off the on/off switch located on your coffee maker. Unplug the power cord and allow the appliance to cool down.

Pour out the water from your appliance and wipe its exterior with a dry or slightly moist cloth.

Never immerse the power base unit and the pot into water, and do not wash them in a dishwasher.

Avoid using abrasive and chemical cleaning agents (liquid bleach, hydrochloric acid etc.) for cleaning of any part of the appliance.

Descaling:

Periodically removing the lime accumulating in your water heater is important for hygiene and energy economy.

Lime contained in the water will accumulate and burn onto the coffee pot, and form a brown layer on the heating base. This may reduce the effectiveness of your appliance.

Light formation of lime can easily be removed by brushing (do not forget to unplug the appliance before doing so).

You can use lime removers or white vinegar for home appliances.

To clean your appliance with a descaling agent: boiled some water in your coffee maker; then, add the descaling agent into boiled water

and stir. Waiting for one moment, boil for 2–3 minutes more, empty the appliance, and rinse the coffee pot 2–3 times with clean water.

To clean with white vinegar: fill your appliance with white vinegar and wait for one hour. Then, pour the vinegar out and rinse the coffee pot 2–3 times with clean water.

To clean with citric acid: boil 200 ml of water in the coffee pot; then, add 25 grams of citric acid and wait for 15 minutes. Then, empty the coffee pot and rinse it 2–3 times with clean water. Repeat the process if necessary.

Always add water when using citric acid, and do not clean without water.
