Devices that are not descaled prop- erly or too little can be damaged, no longer work properly and require more electricity. ∙ The following points can be an indication that the machine needs to be descaled: o The appliance no longer brews coffee properly, it takes an unusually long time. o Water remains in the water tank. o Unusual noises during coffee preparation. o Increased steam emission when making coffee. o Significant limescale deposits in the machine. ∙ If one or more points occur, please descale the machine as fol- lows:

1. Fill the water tank with water and softening agent or vine-

gar (please follow the descaler manufacturer’s instructions) to the maximum “Max”.

2. Insert the jug correctly.

utes, then repeat this process with steps 3-5 one more time.

7. Now switch the device back on and let the rest of the solu-

tion run through completely.17

8. Remove the descaling solution from the vacuum jug and

clean the machine by brewing at least 3 more times with clean water without coffee powder.

Tips for making coffee ∙ A clean coffee maker is important to make good coffee. Please clean your machine regularly. ∙ Use only clean, clear, cold water to brew coffee. ∙ Store the ground coffee in a dry, cool place. Make sure that coffee packaging is closed well after opening. ∙ Only use ground coffee once. Coffee that has been warmed up again loses a lot of its taste. ∙ The faster the coffee is drunk, the better it tastes. ∙ If you rinse the coffee pot with hot water before the brewing process, the coffee stays warm longer.20 Correct Disposal of this product This marking indicates that this product should not be disposed with other household wastes throughout the EU.
