Important Safeguards

•No coloque la jarra sobre, o cerca, de una hornilla de gas o eléctrica; ni tampoco dentro de un horno caliente o un microondas.

•Evite el manejo brusco y los golpes.

DEPÓSITOS MINERALES Y OBSTRUCCIONES

Los depósitos minerales que provienen del agua dura pueden obstruir la cafetera. El exceso de vapor y/o los ciclos de colado prolongados son señales de que una limpieza es necesaria. La frecuencia con que deben limpiarse los depósitos, está vinculada a la regularidad con que se usa el aparato y a la dureza del agua. Es posible que durante la limpieza la cafetera salpique, ya que se produce más vapor que al colar café. Se recomienda la limpieza cada 60 ciclos de colado.

1.Vierta vinagre blanco en el tanque hasta el nivel 7. Luego añada agua hasta el nivel 12.

Precaución: Tenga cuidado de no exceder la capacidad máxima, de 12 tazas, para evitar que el agua se derrame por el agujero ubicado en la parte trasera de la cafetera.

2.Coloque un filtro de papel en la cesta de colado y cierre la tapa del tanque. Coloque la jarra sobre la placa de calentamiento.

3.Encienda la cafetera y permita que se cuele la mitad de la solución de limpieza adentro de la jarra (hasta que el agua alcance aproximadamente el nivel 6). Apague la cafetera y espere 15 minutos para que se ablanden los depósitos.

4.Encienda la cafetera y cuele el resto de la solución de limpieza adentro de la jarra.

5.Apague la cafetera, vacíe la jarra y deseche el filtro de papel sucio.

6.Llene el tanque con agua hasta el nivel 12, coloque de nuevo la jarra vacía sobre la placa de calentamiento y encienda la cafetera durante un ciclo completo, para así eliminar cualquier residuo de la solución limpiadora. Puede ser necesario repetir este proceso para eliminar por completo el olor y el sabor del vinagre.

7.Lave el cesto de colar y la jarra, según las instrucciones en la sección de limpieza de la cafetera.
