7 | CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

We advise to clean the coffee pad machine on a regular bases. Regular cleaning will prolong the life of your appliance and will guarantee optimal brewing results.

Please do as follows:

Check before cleaning if the coffee pad machine is switched off und unplugged. Clean the outside of the appliance with only a damp cloth and dry it with a dry cloth. Never use any abrasives! Never place the appliance in or under running water.

CLEANING SEPARATE PARTS

• Remove the drawer 10 by pulling and slightly lifting it towards you. This movement unlocks the drawer and you can take it out of the machine.
• Remove the coffee outlet 9 the same way as the drawer.

To place the coffee outlet and the drawer back, all you need to do is to place the items correctly on the sliders. Push the drawer back in the machine. A "click" indicates that the drawer is placed correctly in the guides.

• Clean the separate parts: the multi padholder 12, the crema maker 13, the drawer 10, the coffee outlet 9, the grid 7 and the drip tray 8 with warm water and some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher and make

sure that the parts are dry before next use.

• Pay attention to clogging the small drains in the middle of the padholder 12 and the outside of the

crema maker 13. Remove the crema maker 13 by pushing it out, from below, with a blunt object like a pen or the back of a teaspoon. This also concerns the teamaker in the tea padholder 14.

• Check every day if the drip tray 8 is empty and there are no used coffeepads in the appliance. If the drip tray is full, it will overflow and the liquid will flow under the appliance.
  Make sure the grid is placed correctly, with the opening under the coffee outlet.

DESCALING

We advise to descale your coffee pad machine on a regular bases. The period depends on the condition of your water and the frequency of use. We advise to descale the coffee pad machine approx. every three months. You can use a special descalingproduct for coffeemachines.

When you use a descalingproduct especially for coffeemachines, you will have to follow the instructions on the package of the descalingproduct accordingly.

• Switch off the coffee pad machine with the on/off 3 button.
• Fill the reservoir according the instructions on the package of the descalingproduct.
• Place a large mug or bowl under the coffee outlet to collect the descalingmixture.
• Open the drawer for the coffee padholder by pulling the drawer gently outwards. The drawer will now slide open.
• Place a new or used coffeepad in the multi padholder with the bulging side down and press it lightly. The coffee pad machine will be better descaled when you do this and it cannot be clogged with descalingbits.
• Push the drawer gently inwards until it can't go further.
• Switch the coffee pad machine on with the on/off button 3 and press directly the 1-cup button and 2-cups button at the same time. Do not let the machine heat up.
• The coffee pad machine will now rinse with the descendingmixture.
• The coffee pad machine will automatically switch itself off when the rinsingprocess is ended. Repeat the process until the water reservoir is empty. After the descending you will have to rinse the machine upto 3 times with 1 liter of fresh cold water to make sure that there is no descalingproduct left behind in the coffee pad machine to avoid a bad taste to the coffee.

Attention! If you haven't used the coffee pad machine for a while, for instance if you have been away on a holiday, you should remove all the separate parts for cleaning and rinse the coffee pad machine with fresh water. Place the cleaned parts in the machine. This prevents an additional taste.

8 | SOLVING A MALFUNCTION

When the appliance has a malfunction, one or two pilot lamps will blink fast.

Lamp Color	Condition Explanation
3/6 red/green	constantly Co	Caffeepadmachine is ready for use.
3 red blinking	slowly	Appliance is heating up.
3 red blinking	fast	Malfunction in the appliance, see the following table.

6 green constantly	Drawer is locked correctly and the appliance is ready for making coffee.
6 green blinking	slowly	Don’t open the drawer, it is still locked. Please wait a couple of seconds until the pilot lamp lights constantly.
6 green off	Drawer is not locked, open the drawer and lock it again.

Check the following steps to solve the malfunction yourself.

Cause

Water reservoir is not placed correctly

Solution

Empty the reservoir, fill it up again to the maximum-level and place it on the coffee pad machine.

Cause

Waterlevel is under the minimum

Solution

Fill the water reservoir to the maximum level.

Cause

Boiler overheated

Solution

Switch the appliance off and rinse it as described in the chapter “Rinsing the machine”.

Cause

Less or no coffee at all comes out of the coffee outlet.

Solution

• Remove the crema maker by pushing it out, from below, with a blunt object like a pen or the back of a teaspoon and rinse it with warm water. One grain of coffee can cause it to be blocked. • Check to see if the coffee outlet is clogged and if necessary clean it. • Check the position of the taste selector. • We advise to loosen the coffee in the coffeepads before you place them in the machine. This will ensure a better transit of the water and will give a finer layer of coffeecrema.

Coffeepaddrawer won't open (vacuum).

Solution

You can solve the vacuum yourself by decompressing the appliance using the valve behind the small hole on the back of the appliance.Procedure: Make sure the water reservoir is placed on the appliance. At the back of the appliance you will find a small hole in the housing. Put a thin, blunt object inside the hole and press to activate the valve. Keep pressing it during several seconds until the water stops flowing back into the waterreservoir and both pilot lamps (red and green) light up constantly.Careful: the water that is being pumped back, is hot. You have successfully decompressed the appliance.After you can open the coffee pad drawer again, you must clean the crema maker and the multi padholder. If you do not clean the parts, the cause of the vacuum will not be solved and when reusing the appliance it will get locked again.Cleaning the crema maker: Remove the crema maker by pushing it out, from below, with a blunt object like a pen or the back of a teaspoon and rinse it with warm water. One grain of coffee can cause it to be blocked.

Cause

The lock does not work - the pilot lamp 6 keeps blinking.

Solution

• Make sure the coffeepad(s) has (have) been placed correctly. • Coffee pad drawer is not locked, open the drawer and lock it again. • Check the multi padholder - at the back there should be a protrusion sticking out, when this has broken off the machine is not able to make coffee. Order a new multi padholder at your supplier.
