Pour the water and then wait for your appliance to become cold. While making this process, be sure that the water is filled to the maximum level.

After boiling the water, it is normal to constitute powder-like residue in boiled water according to the hardness degree of the water. The water causes this case and it has no damage for human health.

Place the coffee maker on the power base unit. When you turn on the switch, the indicator light will turn on and the water will begin to warm up. When the water boils, set the "ON" switch to the off position.

Preparing coffee:

Put sufficient quantity of cold water into your coffee maker according to the number of cups of coffee (300 ml. for 3 to 4 persons, max).

Empty the water from your appliance and wipe its exterior with a dry or damp cloth.

Never immerse the power base unit or the coffee maker in water, nor wash them in a dishwasher.

Avoid using abrasive and chemical cleaning agents (such as liquid bleach, hydrochloric acid, etc.) when cleaning any accessories of the appliance.

Descaling:

Periodically removing the limescale that builds up in your water heater is important for hygiene and energy efficiency.

Limescale from the water used will accumulate and burn, forming a brown layer on the heating base, which will reduce the effectiveness of your appliance.

Light limescale buildup can easily be removed by brushing (remember to unplug the appliance before doing so).

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

To clean your appliance with a descaling agent: After boiling some water in your coffee maker, add the descaling agent to the boiled water and mix. Wait for a moment, then boil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Empty the appliance and rinse the inside 2-3 times with clean water.

To clean with white vinegar: Fill your appliance with white vinegar and let it sit for one hour. Then, pour out the vinegar and rinse the appliance 2-3 times with clean water.

To clean with citric acid: After you have boiled 200 ml of water in your appliance, add 25 grams of citric acid and allow it to wait for 15 minutes. Then, empty the kettle and rinse it 2-3 times repeatedly with clean water. Repeat this process, if necessary. Always add water when using citric acid, and do not clean without water.

Environment
