Care and Cleaning

Be sure to unplug this appliance before cleaning. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or unit in water or liquid.

1. Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot soapy water.

2. Wipe the exterior surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains, water spots, or fingerprints.

3. Water droplets may build up in the brew chamber from steam and cause dripping before, during, or after brewing.
   To prevent drips, wipe off water droplets with a clean dry cloth after each use.

4. After washing and drying completely, replace all components in the coffee maker.

Removing Mineral Deposits
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, periodically you should clean away the mineral deposits left by the water according to the water quality in your area and the use frequency. Follow the Descale steps on page 7 or 9 to descale your appliance.

Hints for Great-Tasting Coffee

1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the coffee maker as specified in the “Care and Cleaning” section. Always use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
2. Store unused coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee powder, reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
3. For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
4. Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee’ flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
5. Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee powder.
6. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
