Braun NC1000 manual Water Filter, Rinsing, Cleaning, Descaling

•Clean and descale the machine regularly (see sections «Cleaning» and «Descaling»).

Water Filter

Braun Nescafé Nescup® is equipped with a water filter that filters unfavourable chemicals out of the water to improve the quality of your beverage significantly. Moreover, it protects your machine against scale build-up and extends its lifetime. The water filter should be replaced regularly (approx. after 50 l of water have run through). When the water filter exchange signal (E) lights up, you need to replace the water filter to ensure best quality of your coffee. To insert the water filter cartridge, proceed as follows:

•Unpack the water filter cartridge, and immerse it in a large glass or cup filled with water for 10 minutes.

•Remove the water tank.

•Switch the coffee/water selector (Q) to the «water» position and place a cup on the tray to capture potential water spill.

•Open the water filter compartment (B) and insert the new water filter by firmly pressing it down.

•To reset the water filter exchange signal, press the «stop» button (D) for 5 seconds.

•Empty the cup if needed, place it back on the drip tray and press the mug button (J). After brewing has stopped, empty the cup and repeat twice more.

Rinsing

Rinse the machine daily before the first cup.

•Place an empty cup on the drip tray (N).

•Ensure that the coffee/water selector (Q) is in the «coffee» position.

•Press the manual button (H) without adding any instant coffee and press the mug button (J).

Cleaning

Always unplug the machine before cleaning.

Clean the detachable parts of the brewing unit daily after your last cup of the day and always after milk has been used:

•Remove the brewing unit (U) by pulling it towards you (see VIII).

•Detach the coffee pipe (X) and the brewing mechanism lid (W) by unscrewing it from the brewing unit (U).

•Remove the seal (V).

•Clean all parts with hot water and washing-up liquid. Alternatively, the brewing unit can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

•Remember to replace the seal (V) when re- assembling the brewing unit (U).

•Ensure that all parts are completely dry before re-assembly.

•When re-inserting the brewing unit, ensure it is firmly inserted by pressing against its back panel.

Coffee Container

•Disassemble the coffee container (A) and clean the glass either with a dry cloth or in hot water (see X). The other parts should be wiped with a dry cloth or paper towel.

•After cleaning the coffee container make sure it is completely dry prior to re-filling with instant coffee. Otherwise, the coffee powder may congeal and block the machine.

•If the lid of the coffee container is blocked with caked coffee, disassemble it by taking out the stopper, turning the ring left and pulling out the piston (see IX, 1–4). Remove the rubber sealing ring to avoid it from getting wet. Clean all other parts with hot water and ensure everything is dry before reassembly. Especially the rubber sealing ring needs to be completely dry. In case of doubt, use one of the spare sealing rings.

Machine Exterior

•Never clean the machine under running water and never immerse it in water.

•Only use a clean kitchen towel for cleaning. If necessary, you may use some washing-up liquid.

•When moving the machine, remove the water tank (C) from the unit first.

•Clean the water tank (C) regularly. To avoid scratching use a soft cloth soaked in vinegar and water.

Descaling

If you are using a water filter the cup, mug, cappuccino and manual signals light up simultaneously to indicate that descaling is necessary (ca every 300l). If you are not using a water filter you need to descale the machine more often (ca every 100l). The red water filter exchange signal lights up every 50 l and you can use this as a reference and descale every second time it lights up.

The descaling process works in 4 phases. After each step the blinking cup, mug, cappuccino and manual signals will show you that you need to initiate the next phase:

1.

•Remove the water filter from the appliance and ensure the brewing unit is in place.
