Descaling and the ‘Clean’ function

ßAlways use the charcoal water filters provided and replace on a regular basis (i.e. every 90 days or 90 uses)

ßIt is strongly recommended that you descale the appliance from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water an how often you use the appliance. The flashing ‘Clean’ light will indicate when you should clean your coffeemaker.

If the ‘Clean’ light begins to flash when the coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that the calcium build-up is interfering with the functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavour of your coffee.

To descale

ßFill the water reservoir completely with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water and switch the appliance on. Press the ‘Clean’ button. When the self clean light glows, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the on/off button. The clean light will shine steadily. The coffeemaker is now in clean mode. One cycle should be sufficient to descale the appliance.

ßOnce the cycle has been completed and 5 beeps sound, switch the appliance off. Turn the appliance back on to see if the ‘Clean’ light continues to flash. If it does, turn it to ‘Off’ and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. If the clean light no longer flashes, turn the coffee- maker to ‘Off’ and then run one cycle of fresh cold water throught the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee.

Notes on the Cleaning Function

Pressing the ‘Clean’ button cancels all other settings. If it is pressed accidentally, press it again to return the coffeemaker to all its previous settings. Pressing ‘On/Off’ will also exit the ‘Clean’ mode and turn the coffeemaker off.
