cleaning. Activate the anti-drip valve several times during cleaning. To insert, press the filter bracket vertically upwards and into the rear handle recess by its lug. Reposition the bracket for the fresh water container (Figure 16/B).

The filter insert is now relocked. Please check that it is positioned correctly! The glass jug can now be returned to the warming plate.

Only clean the appliance using a damp cloth; never immerse it in water. Only the coffee jug and jug lid are dish- washer safe.

Descaling - to prolong the life of your coffee machine

As a precaution we recommend descal- ing every three months. If you are using a gold filter, remove it from the filter insert before descaling. Use only an environmentally friendly descaling agent and always follow the manufac- turer’s instructions. Do not use any concentrated descaler based on formic acid. Nor should you use a powdered descaling agent.

First fill the fresh water container with water and then add the descaling agent. Never vice versa.

Place the coffee jug with lid on the warming plate. Allow the descaling solution to work for approximately 15 minutes, then switch on the appliance. Once the descaling solution has perco- lated through, switch the appliance off. If necessary, repeat the descaling procedure. Then repeat the procedure at least twice using clear water.

Rinse the coffee jug, jug lid and filter insert thoroughly under running water. Activate the anti-drip valve several times as it is rinsed.
