Decalcifying
The lime content (degree of hardness) in
the water in time causes the calcification
of the coffee maker. Lime impairs the
function of the machine and reduces the
quaility of the coffee.
Ask your water supplier for the
degree of hardness of your tap
water. If your water has a high
degree of hardness, the coffee
maker must be decalcified after eve-
ry 30 applications, low degrees of
hardness need only be decalcified
after every 60 applications. Use a
decalcifying agent for household
appliances and follow the instruc-
tions.
• Switch the coffee maker off and let it
cool down completely
• Place the decalcifying agent into the
water container.
• Fill up to the maximum amount of
1.3 litres.
• Put the glass coffee-pot ᕧ onto the
hotplate ᕦ.
• Switch the coffee maker on by menas
of the ON/OFF switch ᕥ.
• Wait until the brewing procedure has
finished.
• Rinse the water container and the
glass coffee-pot thoroughly several
times with tap water.
• Then let the coffee maker brew only
with tap water twice as described in
the section entitled "Before the First
Use".
Afterwards you can use the coffee
maker normally again.
