CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations, turn the machine off, unplug it from the power socket and allow it to cool down.

1.When cleaning the coffee maker, do not use solvents or abra- sive detergents. A soft, damp cloth is sufficient.

2.Never immerse the coffee maker in water: it is an electrical appliance.

CLEANING THE FLAVOUR SAVER

To clean the Flavour Saver more efficiently, it can be removed from the filter holder cone by pressing it lightly inwards (Fig. 13).To replace it, simply slide it in from above (Fig. 14).

DESCALING

If the water in your local area is hard, lime scale will form over time.These deposits may affect the correct operation of the appli- ance.

The coffee maker must be descaled every 40 cycles.The descaling process may be performed using special commercially-available scale removers for drip coffee makers. Alternatively, white wine vinegar can be used as follows:

1.Remove the chlorine filter.

2.Pour 2 cups of white wine vinegar and 3 cups of water into the tank. Place the tank in the coffee maker;

3.Place the jug on the warming plate, do not put any ground cof- fee in the filter holder;

4.Press the drip coffee ON/OFF switch, percolate the equivalent of one cup and then switch off the appliance;

5.Leave the vinegar to act for one hour;

6.Switch the coffee maker back on and percolate the rest of the solution;

7.To rinse the machine, operate it with water and without ground coffee at least 3 times (3 complete tanks of water).
