Installing the water filter cartridge
Unpack the water filter cartridge 4a . Then put the fil- ter cartridge for 10 minutes in a receptacle filled with water.
Remove the space compensator 4 from the tank and replace it by the water filter cartridge. Make sure to keep the space compensator as it could be needed if you do not use the water filter any longer at a future point in time or for decalcification.
After having installed a new water filter cartridge always run a cycle of the maximum number of cups of clean cold water through the unit before brewing coffee.
In order to ensure the proper functioning of the
filter cartridge, exchange it after 2 months of regu- larly using the coffeemaker. In order to remind you to replace the filter in time, you may set the dial 4b incorporated in the tank cover to the month when the cartridge has to be exchanged.
Dial for water filter exchange
After having installed a new filter cartridge, set the dial 4b for 2 months later by turning it from the reverse side of the tank cover.
Cleaning
Always turn the coffeemaker off and pull the plug out of the outlet before cleaning. Swing out the filter basket 8 and pull it off upwards from the filter sup- port bracket 7 (e). To replace, set the rectangular
opening in the rim of the filter basket | 8 on top of the |
nose of the filter support bracket 7 | until the filter |
basket snaps in place (e). |
|
To wash, take the lid off the carafe (d). The carafe, lid and filter basket can be cleaned in the dishwasher. All other parts should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. After cleaning, put the lid back on the carafe
(d).
Clean the hotplate 9 with liquid cleansers only. Do not use abrasive cleansers. The coffeemaker must never be cleaned under running water and must never be immersed in water.
The filter support bracket 7 can be taken off for cleaning. Swing it out, push it up and pull it off diag- onally downwards (f). To replace, insert the top first.
Decalcifying
If you have hard water and you use your coffeemaker without a water filter, it should be decalcified regu- larly. When using the water filter cartridge and exchanging it regularly, you normally will not need to decalcify. However, if your coffeemaker takes much longer than normal to brew, the appliance should be decalcified.
Notice: Replace the water filter with the space compensator for any decalcifying procedure.
The flavor selector 5 must be set to the | symbol |
for decalcifying. |
|
You can either use a commercially available decalci- fying agent which does not affect aluminum or white distilled vinegar (available at foodstores).
1.Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the decalcifying agent.
2.Repeat this procedure as many times as necessary until the flow rate returns to normal (approx. 50 seconds per cup including dripping). Use a newly prepared decalcifying solution for each cycle.
3.After decalcifying run at least two cycles of the maximum number of cups of clean cold water through the unit before brewing coffee.
If you are using white distilled vinegar, please pro- ceed as follows:
1. Fill the tank 3 to the 6 cup level with the white distilled vinegar. Do not mix the vinegar with water or any other liquid.
2.Set the carafe with the lid in place on the hot- plate, snap the filter basket (without a filter) in place and turn on the appliance.
3.Allow half of the vinegar to flow through.
4.Switch off the appliance and leave for 10 minutes.
5.Switch on the appliance again and allow the rest of the vinegar to flow through.
6.Repeat this procedure as many times as neces- sary until the flow rate of the coffeemaker returns to normal (approx. 50 secs. per cup). Use fresh vinegar for each cycle.
7.After decalcifying run at least two cycles of the maximum number of cups of clean cold water through the unit before brewing coffee.
