!Maintenance!and!day!to!day!care ¡ Risk!of!electric!shock! – Switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning. – Never immerse the appliance in water. – Do not use a steam cleaner. Clean your TASSIMO machine regularly to ensure that it continues to produce beverages of the best possible quality. If the appliance has been unused for a long time, run the cleaning process with the Service T DISC several times to ensure that the drinks it produces are of its normal high quality (see “First use of your TASSIMO machine”). Never use vinegar or vinegar­based products, scouring agents or chemically softened water.

1.! Clean the brewing system regularly with a soft, damp cloth, especially the T DISC barcode scanner (4e) and the area around the clamp, so that the T DISC barcode can be scanned properly. 2.! Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth.

3.! Rinse out the water tank (5) and the ilter cartridge holder (5c) by hand and with water only; do not place them in the dishwasher. 4.! All parts of the cup stand (7) are dishwasher­safe.

5.! Remove the T DISC holder (4b) and the piercing unit (4c). Also remove the drink outlet (4d) by pushing it up. It is recommended to clean these parts regularly, otherwise the drink outlet could become blocked, possibly causing leakage or reduced drink sizes. ► All these parts can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. ► When preparing a number of drinks one after another, the piercing unit may be manually cleaned quickly and easily under running water. !! Important: – The piercing unit and the drink outlet can be very hot immediately after brewing. – After use, we recommend that the Service T DISC be stored in its compartment (6) at the back of the appliance. – The drink outlet (4d) must be put back in place after cleaning. i Note: If you prepare beverages containing milk or cocoa, we recommend cleaning the brewing unit more frequently by using the Service T DISC as described in the section titled “First use of your TASSIMO machine”. 09/2011 TAS55.indb 31

!Descaling !! Important: – If you have very hard water, notice an unusual amount of steam or if the beverage size is not what it should be, descale the machine before the Q LED comes on. – Although the enclosed BRITA MAXTRA ilter system reduces the amount of lime in the water signii ­ cantly, it does not eliminate the need for regular descaling. – Do not drink any of the liquids used for descaling. – Never use vinegar or vinegar­based products. – Always remove the ilter cartridge holder (5c) with the ilter cartridge (5d) before running the descaling programme. – Never interrupt the descaling programme. Your TASSIMO machine must be descaled regularly, because heating water creates limescale which accumulates in the machine over time. When descaling is needed, the machine indicates this by activating the “Descale required” ' LED (3e). When this LED lights up, you should descale your machine immediately. Not doing so may result in machine not functioning properly and beverage quality deteriorating. If you have not descaled the machine after another 30 T DISCs, the indicator starts to blink. Special!descaling!agents!can!be! obtained!from!www.tassimo.com,!the! Bosch!customer!service!department! (article!no.!310967,!for!contact!details,! see!page!186)!or!from!your!retailer.
